[edit] Population concentration

I had a foreign exchange student from bangladesh. Contrary to what the article says, the majority of Bangladesh's citizens do NOT work in agriculture. The vast majority live in Dhaka, the capital. I dont have time to to edit the page, I have 3 term papers to write.

developing countries find themselves at a paradox; increased global integration , a necessity in todays world, becomes difficult when global institutions such as the IMF and WTO do not provide structural and other support for a smooth entry into the global market.


[edit] textile section

I contributed a long section on bangladesh's textile sector. I'm not very good at formatting so if someone could improve it that would be good. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Katecarr (talk • contribs) 04:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Problems with dates

from Moves Towards a Market Economy:

"Economic policies aimed at encouraging private enterprise and investment, denationalizing public industries, reinstating budgetary discipline, and liberalizing the import regime were accelerated. From 1990-1993. In 1985 1989-1993, the government successfully followed an enhanced structural adjustment facility (ESAF) with the International Monetary Fund."

somebody needs to clean these dates up, preferrably whoever created the section.

[edit] Civil war in 1970's?

Bangladesh still suffers an image crisis due to her civil war period of early 1970s

What civil war are we talking about here? Bangladesh has never had a civil war in its history. Hence, I'm removing the sentence. -- Urnonav 01:31, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] unemployment

Unemployment seems a bit low at 3.6%. If this is a government figure, perhaps it should say so?
