Bangladesh: One in five people live below poverty line
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- Bangladesh's economy is growing but so too is inequality.
While the economy recorded 8 percent growth last year, one in five people live below the poverty line and the average wage is less than $5 a day.
Al Jazeera's Tanvir Chowdhury reports from one of the poorest areas in the capital Dhaka to show how the most basic necessities may be out of reach for some.

Most of the commodities price in Bangladesh is high due to highly corruption of present Dictator Hasina government. It is the reality against so called development. Only the leaders and beneficiaries of this vote rigging Hasina govt enjoying development by stealing wealth of Bangladesh and sending it to outside of Country by Money Laundering process(over invoice, under invoice, false LC)

You had too much faith in the govt. eh.
Thank you Al Jazeera for giving this important issue the media coverage it deserves. When the media outlets in Bangladesh are compromised, international media coverage is all the more crucial.
Even Americans have homeless people so shows the positive things
right bro. This types of media always show just slums of dhaka.
I have seen so much positive things about Bangladesh on internet but i want to know bad side as well . I made a presentation and research paper on Bangladesh development and im a pakistani .
@sanjay a p p World's biggest slum situated in Mumbai, India.
@sanjay a p p GDP is nothing. England gdp is lower than india. That doesn't mean india is richer than england. Grow up kids.
There is only 10% homeless in USA and around 30% in India, india has 40% people poor because indian govt sucks, all bad politicians don't do anything, rich is becoming more rich and poor more poor (i am Indian)
Bangladesh Govt needs to design a new city from the ground up with all the challenges seen in today's Dhaka already thought of and taken into account. This new city would have to be extremely compact, with proper public transportation to reduce congestion, and most of all; cheap.
@Kill Tutor lmao dude, chill out, we all have our opinions. You're literally going on every comment and saying the same thing.
@Kill Tutor no, our economy is growing
Awami League is smuggling all the money in Bangladesh. And Bangladesh is championing BNP five times in corruption. ha ha ha .

You’re absolutely right bro.
This is where we need to analyze wealth inequality which I even saw on a CNBC video report earlier. Even though an economy is developing, many are deprived of basic essentials.
@Kill Tutor you are doing ka ka ka like crow in every person comments. Just waste of time. Use your time in country's development.
One time there are 4 out of 5. We developed our life. But have to take some good action about our politics
The greedy dictator Hasina Govt of Bangladesh doing money laundering by slaying wealth from Bangladesh to other countries. Each leader of Bangladesh Awamilig is stealing Money and send outside Bangladesh so our ECONOMY is now in great danger. The so called development in Bangladesh is nothing but falsification.
@@TanamAzam that's why i said to take some action about our politics. The both govt. Party of our country is evolve in such thing.

Only rich people are getting rich
Not true.
Most of the rich people started as middle or middle lower class. Some even from the poverty class. With effort and resilience, they made it to the top. Yes life isn't always far, but we can always try and look at the bright side.
Prince Musa the most useless person in the states and especially Bangladesh.
That's true the rich are getting richer. But the middle class are also increasing and the number of poor people have gone down significantly.
People blaming the government is forgetting that governments are made by its people.
Govt is made by itself actually.
People haven't made them. Govt made themselves govt by sham election snatching votes and threatening people not to come to vote unless it's for them.
It’s not only just Dhaka's clips,as the same problem in all around this County.
Though we are poor but our people are hospitable and simple. Alhamdulillah.........
🤣🤣🤣🤣are you Joking me BANGLA🤣🤣🤣
These trains are given by my India to Bangladesh.
1 in 5 well that’s 20% and we all know that & no one is denying It, not even the government.
But It’s way better than what it used be when it was more then 70% & Inshallah in 10 or 20 years only relative poverty will exist and no absolute poverty.

Problems in Bangladesh-
Loosing rights
Loosing educated minds
Loosing high skilled jobs
Loosing wealth and health
It is not the government that helps feed the poor! It is the technological advancement worldwide that have driven away hunger from Bangladesh! Some people really stupid
This really sucks. My friend and I are doing a poverty project and we decided to do it on Bangladesh. This video helps. The rich become richer and the poor become poorer.
Which country sis 🙂🙂🙂🙂
With 8% GDP , many Bangladeshis often talk about the country like it's going to be the next Switzerland! Well perhaps they should watch this clip and see how many of their countrymen still live in 2020...
Lol, so you are saying we shouldn't be proud of our growth? Even developed countries have their slums, just look at the USA's inner cities. We'll continue to be proud of our growth even if it bothers you, keep on feeling envious of our success.
@@user-qc9rq3vb2z Jealous?.. I'm Bangladeshi heritage... British born.. I've been there to help with NGO's.. I've been to the slums, villages etc.. I have seen the level of poverty and is still far too high.. Western poverty is very different to Bangladeshi poverty.. They don't die of Dengue fever, they don't have families living in tin shacks with no running water.. Even if they do its not in the millions..
@@sidkings well the problem with you Bangladeshi heritage westerners is, you people don't even considering that why this kind of slums exists in Bangladesh and not in UK. It's due to the "global warming". Because sea level is rising which intensifying the natural celamety makes the coastal area of Bangladesh less and less habitable, so these unfortunate people are flooding the Dhaka and making it a miserable place, while feeding some so called NGO's with there photos ..
@@sathyamshonkho You see the problem with ignorant people like you in Bangladesh is that you don't give the poor people a chance to get out of poverty.. If you invest all the money in only Dhaka and not rural areas then after every flood millions will keep coming Dhaka and there will be more and more shanty Towns everywhere. Trying to blame NGOs is crazy.. These guys do a tremendous job job in helping the poor and destitute. Street children, forced prostitution, beggers, disabled... All problems that existed looooooong time before global warming started.. Very convenient to paint NGO's as thieves while reality is the government, big business and ignorant people like you compound the problem of inequality..
@@user-qc9rq3vb2z i agree
Al Jazeera and DW, these two Chanel will ONLY show the negative side of Bangladesh. Yes, agree there are people in poverty but Bangladesh is far better than India and Pakistan.

Bangladesh is the fastest economic growing country in the world but it is only for government shelter leader and government employee. one side living in slum with poverty one group looting money make second home in Thailand Malaysia Singapore this group is responsible for this poor group.
Ah government management 😭😭 We are Singapore 😠
Its shame see some good news every country has poor people
Hey, Bangladesh is improving. Improvement is for those who are concerned with politics. The rich are getting richer here, and the poor and middle class are getting more poorer.
bangladesh is not poor its actually a beautiful place so don't judge
But it's reality
You truth accept
Aljazeera is always against Bangladesh. I see this from when I understanding english!
Lol, why they would be Against Bangladesh. Are you from Chatroleague or Bal? Because only they claim that people are developing. Price of daily products are increasing and you can't buy anything according to your need if you are poor or you live from hand to mouth. So called development by this govt. is fake.
Please tell bengali people to stop having children and adding to their hardship and poverty. And break the cycle of getting married young, having children and adding their problems.
Bangladesh will have their population under control, so I don't get what you mean by "Stop having children", also every country has poverty in it. Why aren't they showing the homeless in America living inside of their cars? Yeah exactly they're busy showing the "real" Dhaka by going to slums where probably not even 1/3 of the population lives. Also remember it was you civilized who looted the whole Indian SubContinent of over 45 Trillion USD. Maybe instead of making these hypocritic news outlets and trusting them you guys should apologize to us.
The government of our country Bangladesh doesn’t seems a government for poor people. It seems the government of affluent people.
So upset with the mindset of International news channels. Yes, Bangladesh is poor but only slums don't represent whole Bangladesh. But News media always go to the slums of Bangladesh and portrait Bangladesh as the poorest country of the world. Be innovative, find out something better that describes whole Bangladesh.
As a Muslim follow Turkey. There is no poor in Turkey.
We are developing and we will continue to do so, but knowing the tragic past of this country is very important because we didn't end up poor out if thin air, and none of our neighbouring countries ever faced what we faced. Surviving a genocide and then being written off as a bottom less basket of a nation, being ruled by western backed military dictators who imposed martial law and stole from the people and enriched themselves, later becoming a role model for developing countries is quite an extraordinary feat, and we did all that without any natural resources and within 50 years of our independence. I can only see a bright future for our nation while many might not. Joy Bangla 🇧🇩
Bou beti Samla. Eto xetona diya ki hobe vai. The fact is this country still facing many major problems and one of them is corruption. We cannot hope for a better country without removing this problem. I hope you understand
@@abdullahalrakib7654 Corruption is a major problem but it comes from people like yourselves. Poor people who accumulate a large sum of wealth in a very short period of time still have a questionable character, and when they become powerful they tend to exercise that power unlawfully. Not a single problem of Bangladesh is unique to Bangladesh, you'll find it everywhere. Bangladesh is like China in the 1980's, developing rapidly, and filled with poor people who recently came out of poverty abusing their power.
SAMI you know how long it took Singapore to become the strongest passport holder in the world? It’s good to be optimistic but don’t sugar coat like the rest of Bangalis! I don’t know what genocide you are talking about but if we had one we would be more disciplined as a nation!
I would blame it on rice! Lol
It’s the root cause of all our problems
Phoenix Rakib corruption is us! But more than that is the sell out of wealth to foreign nations! Thanks to our foreign workers (only)we get back some of it with out having to really give anything in return!
And here I am only able to voice my concerns in useless platform! Cause if I voice my concern in public, it means I am against the government. as per our “shonar” chatro league r uneducated goons, (who cannot take criticism due to their low self esteem) criticism means against less power!
@@MrARH007 Don't come and lecture me about Singapore, I'd recommend you learn a bit about it's history. Singapore was ruled by an absolute dictator and the US wanted Singapore to develop, so they helped Singapore aka 'A Fisherman's Village' which couldn't but relay on Malaysia for every single meal to become a trade hub.
Bangladesh has a very tragic history, which none of our neighbours share, none of the countries in our region ever faced a genocide. And many of our neighbours do not want us to develop, moreover we've had military dictators who imposed martial law rule over us who were backed by the west.
"Poverty you have

Corruption and greed that lead to this situation. Money for public infrastructure gone because of corruption,greed for profits lead to high cost of living.

I totally agree with you, all the information you have given is true. But you may not know that those who are rich in Bangladesh are very rich and those who are poor are very poor. There is no equality of resources here, because it is the number one corrupt country in the world and our government is responsible for it. But it is true that we are one of the intelligent nations of the world.

@Rabby Ahmed Musa corrupted government
Bangladesh beautiful country..government corrupt politicians..
It’s not Only Bangladeshi problems
If corruption had not been here, people would not have been in such poverty case!
Every year budget passes but it does not do any good to poor people , rather often rich people have to think over buying things at such high rates.
Govt is absolutely corrupted here. No progression of poor is possible until evil practises are stopped .
We have enough resourses , enough man power just because corruption at every sector is making this condition worse day by day.

Again a typical negative reporting on Bangladesh from Al Jazeera. It should be a case study for journalism enthusiasts how a single international news media continues to serve a particular brand of Islamist political agenda by systematically and consistently working against a country. It's impressive how they manage to keep doing this by using reporters of Bangladesh origin or descent.
I dare this channel to keep this comment uploaded.
still we dont realize that its a population problem
only 5% people are rich/ super rich/trillionaire and rest are super poor.
