COVID-19 In Bangladesh: Will Government Aid Reach The Poor In Time? | Insight | Full Episode
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- With the coronavirus pandemic hitting Bangladesh hard, millions of the country’s poor are slipping back into destitution. The health crisis coupled with the prospect of deglobalisation are already reversing much of the country's impressive gains in poverty reduction. Poverty in the country has now doubled from 21 to nearly 41 per cent.
The fallout is particularly devastating for the South Asian country's economy, which is disproportionately reliant on its global supply chains to keep its economy thriving. Its garment industry alone contributes about 16% of Bangladesh's GDP. With the effects of the pandemic hitting the nation hard, how bad is it likely to get? Can the nation's poor survive the onslaught of the pandemic? Will the government's stimulus package help improve the plight of the country's poor?

We have many Bangladeshi wokers here in Malaysia, most of our buildings are built by them. They are very polite and hardworking.
But Malaysian government treat them badly then become frustrated and also do crimes
Kick out that black people from malaysia
Unfortunately Aid in Bangladesh never gets to the rightful ones, the minister’s and authorities distribute a little of it and the rest they divide it amongst themselves.
It has too many people of 160 million people the size of Florida. The world has had enough to see their population growing.
@Romeo 300 Bangladeshis should convert to Christianity then. Muslims are overpopulating too much just to become the most populous major religion than the Christian population.
@@MyFirstHandle population will decrease in coming days
Yes
@@MyFirstHandle you could be right
I was worked in Bangladesh, kansphur,meghna and gumti second bridge...they are good people... From Philippines
❤
Bangladesh are kind from my personal experience.
I honestly feel sorry for this people but they keep having kids knowing they are not able to/ will be able to provide support.
Throughout this series I have gauged one things is that people in Southeast Asia keep having kids with little regard to how they will be able to raise them/ fulfil their needs etc.
Yes that’s my thoughts how can you bring children into a life of suffering,
It doesn’t really make sense
Hope CNA will also do a topic on Corruption in these countries!! I’d love to watch that subject if covered! That’s the REAL issue here!!
The only Corruption you can look and ask for is that Wuhan virus is the main caused of all this global economy and social destruction to happen now ... Ask Trump and you will get a straight answer.
They don’t do that coz they do politics on poverty
@@bobafett5757 its covid-19 not ''wuhan virus''
@@lamlamb1092 ... Same thing many countries still call it Wuhan virus.
For me one of the BIGGEST factors in being stuck in poverty is having too many children than they can feed and send to school. But unfortunately based on CNA's track record of uploads, it is NEVER the parents fault when children aren't able to eat properly.
Personal responsibility, adults thinking about only having children when they know they can provide them the education they need to succeed in the future.
I guess for CNA common sense isn't something they like to talk about...let's say a family instead of having 5-8 children just had 1 or 2. Not changing the parent's current earnings, wouldn't those 1-2 children be better fed than if there where 5-8. How about savings? If the parent's only needed to feed 1-2 instead of 5-8 wouldn't they be able to afford a pen or a notebook or maybe even send their kid off to get educated in a school.
I am NOT saying having fewer kids guarantees the 1-2 kids automatically GET an education because that is not the case. BUT wouldn't having fewer mouths to feed be easier on the family budget? Wouldn't having fewer kids (again given the exact earnings the parents are getting) increase the chances of those fewer kids having an education and by having the education get more options to make their own future. And in turn those educated kids CAN help their parents out of their situation.
whole world it's an devastating poor country ....
People in Bangladesh : we are rich from heart.
Fast fashion brands like H&M Zara and Cotton On are so expensive and yet they pay little to the labour workers. I am gonna stop buying thise brands. Support local made brands.
H&M, Zara are extremely cheap due to paying workers low wages. They are horrible quality anyways. Would rather pay $40 for a tshirt if they treat their workers better.
and when you need cloth... you still drop by... they had paid lving wage in those area.. it shuld be fine..
not having any wage is even worse. im not sure its the right answer to fix the low wages.
@@Opalivian .
I will never buy branded clothes. I support the unbranded ones that suit my taste and needs..
It’s indeed a heart-wrecking documentary that vividly depicts how the pandemic has affected the lives of those unfortunate people who are already living far below the poverty line. The statistics given are staggering. The story-line brings tears. Picturization and editing deserve a special word of commendation. May this documentary arrest the attention of the international community and bring some welfare fund and aid to this ailing country. May God save them. Well done CNA.
And YOUR review as well
I noticed the following good things :
- 34:58 The crab farm looks really good. They are doing farming in a scientific way.
- 8:56 There is a refrigerator inside the garbage collector lady’s home.
- 24:00 They take care their elder in a good way.
The main problem of Bangladesh is overpopulation and corruption.
@Mahina R. Bangladesh is a densely populated country everyone knows that.
It's the number one problem! People will start to starve within the next 20 years if the population isn't curbed. It's not a good prospect my friend. I hope they take action before people face this crises.
Not even Bangladesh whole of South Asia has overpopulation problem..
In india it's very severe then Bangladesh but because of huge country population gets distributed.
Poor people in poor countries can't imagine how they live
The question is why U brought 5-7 kids to this World if U making $30.00 per month ? !
People in the comments.....victim blaming. Wow, I expected nothing more from this generation. I really hope the people in this video the best. Hope they make it through and flourish. It's sad, seeing the effects of this pandemic. Bangladesh was already in a devastating situation before. Anyways, I hope we have a vaccine soon; this pandemic needs to go. It's causing so much distress throughout the world.
Really amazing job......... Exceptional coverage and Bangladesh was captured in a realistic manner. The editing and picturization has matched perfectly and it has turned out to be a beautiful video coverage. The entry scene and those drone shots were really marvellous. It is such an incredible effort from Channel News Asia to bring in such a good content that too in this pandemic time. Expecting more videos like this....... Great job done by the team 👏👏👏👏
Very meaning full video

Hello kabayan
This was very heartbreaking and hard to watch.
They're not even wearing masks. 😢😭
You don't wear masks outside in Canada either ...
We as a nation is stronger than Corona?
That black beggar people dont have money to buy
What about family planning? How can anyone with no income not go hungry with eight children.
Until you visit Bangladesh then you will find out exactly the reason why they have many children.
@@rozanaaziz3977 n what's that? its ntg but blind religiosity n ntg else...Allah will take care bullshit
I don't understand how people can be hungry themselves yet decide to have like 10 kids and wonder why they are poor.
Why they keep producing baby when they can't even feed themselves nobody address this issue
That's Islam...
Condom is haram
@@pkmkb24-7 cow check the data of population growth of Bangladesh and India
The more child you can grow , you have more probability that they will feed you - that's a stereotype
The fertility rate 2.1 children per family. The population grew decades back when the country was born out of a devastating war. They are not producing any more babies than westerners. We already have a rendian here bringing religion when his country is producing more babies than us per family.
@@giantbros2546 This is the stupidest reason ever, the more child you have the harder it becomes for the entire community to find resources to feed them. This is known as the Tragedy of Commons in Economics. The more children everybody in the community has, most of them will have to be killed due to lack of food or other facilities.
I am from Sri Lanka, when i was in abroad only these Bangladesh people help me when i need a help...Indians always try to disturb...i hope then Bangladesh will be a better day..i cut my hair from a Bangladesh saloon and i buy foods from Bangladesh food stalls
What do you mean by disturb?

In December 1971 I was onboard a vessel that probably was the last one to leave Chittagong during the India - Pakistan war. Few weeks after we left the war was over and the nation, Bangladesh was born. We went to Singapore, a nation then into it's sixth year as an independent nation to wait until the war was over. Look at the two nations to day. Singapore being one of the worlds richest and most advanced nations, while Bangladesh, have they improved since independence? From what I can see and read for news media and others, I am not sure. Can corruption be the main reason for the difference? With Singapore being one of the worlds cleanest nations while Bangladesh is close to the bottom of the list?
We in Singapore are lucky we have Lee Kuan Yew. In 1965, we were poorer than Sri Lanka and in 1971, probably with the same GDP per capita as Bangladesh . Good governance and a hard working population are all that matter.
It’s just not Bangladesh 🇧🇩 many poorer countries are suffering from this pandemic, and climate change. We live in horrible age of Climate change the lockdown.
Stop having children. Show a degree of responsibility.
having 8 children in a family,what could government do?
Unfortunately, I abide with my family in this shitty country. 🇧🇩
here people don’t live, they fight hard every moment to survive. Pray for us that, one day my country comes out of abject poverty and provide its citizens with minimal basic rights and at least one meal a day.
This is interesting on many levels. I am seeing the actual people who make my clothing. I am seeing the conditions where they work. This is soooo sad. I used to think being born black in the United States of America was among the worst hell's life could visit on a person. I've watched all these CNA Reports and having done so, I now know that at least for me life as a United States Citizen effectively makes me rich in context of what most people live with in the world. These documentaries are SOBERING!
Exactly
Garments has changed lots of life in Bangladesh.
At least now they can eat.
@@shafiqsha9875 Did you see the garbage the slave masters forced these poor folks to eat. The food these kids were forced to eat is just one step away from eating dinner from a toilet. Yes at least they can eat. My question would you like to "Eat" the filth these folk eat. I would not feed the garage these kids ate to my puppy dogs or kitty kats!
A small country with more than 160 million people while Australia has 30m people. Canada the second largest country has around 30 million people too. But don't worry, we have thousands or million Bangledeshi immigrants working here for the past 30 years

I always give them money as my heart breaks for them. I’m not rich and have worked very hard for what I have even being born with a extremely bad back. I consider myself blessed for what I have.
If there was no such mega corruptions in Bangladesh the situation would be totally different.

@Everything we saw how well that went in Soviet Union
Look at America , the working poor , outrageous!
According to the CCP, there is no poverty in China anymore. They have been bragging about this for the last month. Shame really this series of videos have all been about poverty intensifying because of covid. In some countries setting them back decades. Things would be different if China hadn't had covered it up when it first appeared. Come to think of it, that was really disgusting what the CCP did and shameless the way they talk about their poverty and what they have done to the rest of the world.
Poverty in Indonesia ✅
Malaysia ✅
Phillipines ✅
Now Bangladesh ✅

Lol... yeah... there are many ... I even heard their stories in reality.. @ bldomain
And why the so-called honest educated westerners literally robbing 2millon from Bangladeshi poor??lol they are calling themself bankrupt.. Shame
Pci is currently bout 1888 usd, is in a quick increasing tend even in the pandemic! Rich are getting richer and the poor are Pretty much the same... Bangladesh had reportedly the highest growth of 'Number of Rich People' in 2019...New industries and the garment industry is actually increasing the difference of wealth between the rich and poor.... 85% of export income depends on the garment industry... If something happens in this industry the country would starve... Corruption here is just insane
They have so many children but can't provide food, Poor childfren, they are suffering...
CNA the best channel in Asia 👍
Is corruption a problem in Bangladesh? Many countries are borrowing money for Covid but the aid is not reaching the people.
I know I may sound mean. If you cant take it, please don't read.
As I see, life is a choice. You can choose to be single, you can choose to have a wife. You can choose to have a child, you can choose to be alive or dead. Dont blame others, while you make the choice. You know your are poor, you know your country are poor. You know you have no ability to earn more, then why create more and blame people cant give you enough? Is the matter of choice. We may think you are pity and deserve sympathy, but the feeling of struggle and hunger, is because your act of choice. I am 34 years old, I am not poor. I am single, and I don't have children. Because I have choice, and I choose it wisely. So even if anything happen, I have already save enough to walk me through years.
😢😢😢 Allah swt always will ins’hall’ah look after them
So these people are poor as dirt but make loads more children. WTF?
lack of reproductive education
U r saying they r poor but they Don't think they r poor
With a population of that size and growing, along with lack of education, family planning taboo and orthodox religion. Eradicating poverty is impossible. Why do husbands force thier wives to have so many children still? I do wish Bangladesh well though.
@@Eebz16 the problem isn't only greedy people and companies. Sustaining a large family is a challenge, a challenge that most people can't manage. Providing housing, financial support and education to a large family is nearly impossible when your poor, but people in poor countries have lots of children because they think the children will get them out of poverty and then those children end up have many more children. It's a never ending vicious circle really.
In Philippines lock-down violators can be cast into jail where conditions are abysmal and they may contract COVID.
At least in jail got free food and shelter.

In the uk 100s of millions have been donated to the poorest countries and yet
It never seems to make a difference.
So the people in power must be keeping it for themselves
Salute to the government...so well taking care of its people!!!!
Poverty is higher.still corruption as described one viruses.. poor people remain poorer untill government takes welfare..
Why is she rearing 4 kids she can not feed.....
Its simple....if u cant feed ur self and live in poverty.....CLOSE YOUR LEGS....
its a form of child cruelty
messed up world where the rich countries dont give an F,
even now resources are being eaten while they are being sent where they should go and are not reaching.
With Covid, there is a bigger unemployment rate. It really sucks for countries that were already very poor... I'm going to watch this video next social studies class because my friend and I are doing a project on poverty in Bangladesh. It's really sad to see how many people are in poverty.
Its hard to see something like this. Goverment must be ashamed.
Bangladesh quite similar to India.
Almost all 3rd world quite similar to each other one way or another..
Yes, but cleaner than India.
No...we are far more developed than India... because in India farmers commits suicide because of hunger
Good People my bangli velue live so much so nice People west need more Bangladesh...to help..mashud ahmed togor panamá city panamá
i know its irreleveant comment but the movie is so beautiful,vivi,colorful,people so pretty and colorfully dressed, it looks so much more cheerful than western countries despite the horrible poverty.
Casual workers in Australia at least were able to access unemployment benefits, however parliamentarians and hangers on suffered no drop in income. No help was given international students who were told to go home.
My opinion towards COVID-19 is if your scared stay home because many of us here in America live paycheck to paycheck and we can’t make it with the little money government given to us during 6month lockdown.....We the people should be able to vote whether we want that lockdown or not.....
Why do these people keep having children when they don’t have a decent job in the first place. You have children that you can eat & be comfortable with. You don’t have one after the other then wonder how your going to feed them. Most are poor to start with then a pandemic comes along and they can’t eat. Think ahead have children when you have money to feed them.
Children give a futur for retirement
What a sad world we live in
@ 30 seconds, i’m guessing if you have a family of eight then you have six kids. I don’t feel sorry for a woman who decides to have six kids with no proper income! That’s just irresponsible and dumb in my opinion! Not fair to the kids either.
Because they don't use condoms Ig
Massive corruption caused these, hope they will sentence to death for the corrupts.
why don't we ask Adidas, Nike, Lebron, the Kardashians and all of those cloths brands to chip in some of their earnings to help their serfs in Bangladesh
corruption is one of the disease that hard to fight
Trying to blame others for your factories not paying employees is wrong! Where are all the profits the factories put in their pockets! You manage your company don’t blame others!
money money money and money again thats is all about . I am so happy this corona happening will clean a bit this planet .
how can we send them money, I want to help his family with rent
I guess poorism journalism works.
Fyi...poorism is how is how media concentrates and shows the worst parts of a country to suit their narrative...may that be to get more clicks or push their agenda.
I suggest just helping out those near you in your city or neighborhood. Either personally or better, working with local NGOs. If you don't want the hassle, talk to any religous congregations near you...church, temple, etc. They will freely accept and donations on your behalf.
Red S yeah it got me😞I found myself watching all the sinking islands and just kept going and allowed my emotion to take over and not stick to sound reason.

@@stacielynn7929 you don't need to send money , because it can be never touched by this people . Ours wicked people will snatch those

It is not fair to live under these circumstances the dirt the smell the diseases etc...first regarding the gender one child per family teaching women about their cycles calendar in every household teaching men about coitus interruptus more children more misery HELP THEM
To be honest this aid only went to the local leaders not to the poor people. Most of the needy people didnot get this aid. The more the stimulus package will be , the less the aid will be received by the poor . This is the rule of 3rd world countries.
So sad god bless them
I personally think the Indian people are really nice and very friendly people
Why create so big family if u cant afford to feed them...1 or 2 child is enough
NO BANGLADESH WAS NOT IN THE HUNGER PANDAMIC . AFTER 2 YEARS ... THAT PROVED .
I can't never understand people know they live poor but why do they always have 5 and more kids to feed they are thinking with their d....s also there are so many rich doctors if you see this go help out your people it doesn't take much to make someone happy and take them out of depression.if I went there and could see in person . I would help not sending them money from here it would go to the wrong hands so please when you go there help them.i could not live knowing I'm there and not help even if I gave out my few dollars I would feel richer than ever
Would love if CNA did a report like that here in Mexico.
Well, Mexico isn't an asian country, but it would be great if Channel News Asia could also present reports outside asia.
320. Usd is false even the middle class don’t earn that there
were u living under a rock for the past 9 years? Bangladesh is doing 5 times better on every social indicators compared to their neighbour's. for example children's education, female education, gender wage gap, women empowerment and much more. and btw my driver earns 550 usd a month.
also don't forget New York-based CEOWORLD magazine has billed Bangladesh as the most expensive country to live in South Asia and Pakistan the most affordable one in the world.
People should not have children if they are only going to perpetuate the cycle of poverty. Gov should give free contraception. Also in Philippines and maybe Indonesia?
Well yeah, that's the solution. However, we're forgetting that humans are humans. We can do as much as we could but in the end there would still be human error. Not being pessimistic, just bringing that up.
And why the so-called honest educated westerners literally robbing 2millon from Bangladeshi poor??lol they are calling themself bankrupt.. Shame
Government does give free contraceptives. It was one of the big initiatives of this decade. I lived in a village. They set up a center to give free contraceptives there. My mother and auntie got the stick thing. A lot of people were there. I say they are doing a ok job, though they could be doing better.
Something will have to be done it cannot continue like that
nice reporting..... same if not better than Vice...
$200 per month rent expenses? Isn't that kinda expensive?
I hope the whole subcontinent with the exception of Sri Lanka will remain the same for another century.
This must have been filmed a few months back.
The situation is pretty much back to normal now. BD will post postive growth in 2020 despite the pandemic, which is way more than neighbouring countries. India was -23.0% in the previous quarter, so surely the situation is worse there in terms of impact on the poor?
The poor people featured in this video were poor before the pandemic struck and is a familiar story across BD. Sadly poverty of this level will remain for some time yet, but the good news BD is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Employment opportunities will increase.
"It is really difficult to manage a family of eight without proper income."
Those are the first words on the video...
Is there some sort of group out there putting a gun on people's heads and telling them to make more kids?
I mean, shouldn't you consider or at least care a little about bringing a life into this world? Or was it you are able to provide food, shelter, education, and a future for all your family members when you where just SEVEN?
What logical reason is there to have a bigger family if you cannot take care of a smaller one. Shouldn't it be easier to take care of say a family of 4 or 5 compared to a family of 8? If you can only afford 2 kids right now, why make more?
When you don’t have much entertainment, procreate isn’t a terrible idea
Islam teaching make more baby as Rezeki already determine by gid
There is a historical reason to it, bangladesh being a third world country its still lives on agricultural sector, which means a father needs more sons to help him doing the field work, plus he cannot afford to have any farming instrument.
The society is such where the children live with their parents and its a common notion that you will take care of your children and, when they grow up, they will take care of you!A girl child is thought to be a burden to be married off some day!
So they keep on reproducing till they get a male child increasing the population even further.
Slowly i guess they are realising this and the population is going down.

Because they are decent people with a lot of pride and decency. They didn’t talk about the skeleton in their own cupboard. If you don’t talk about it they haven’t done it.
Although having a very low income, the poor Bangladeshis are having at least 4 children per family. No one doing any family planning and government also did not enforce.
