Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Women and development are closely related to Bangladesh because women are almost half of the population of the country. This study is based on the secondary data. The study aims at examining the position of women in Bangladesh. Statistical tools such as percentage, frequency table and chi- square statistic were applied for analyzing data. The study reveals that only 6.33% women parliament members are elected in direct parliament election in 2008. A poor number (13.04%) women ministers are in the present cabinet. Only 30.77% women are in the presidium members of Bangladesh Awami-League. Only 10.53% women are in National Standing Committee of BNP. The number of women in higher education is very poor. The number of women in central administration and field administration is also poor. As a whole, the position of women is in a nascent stage. This paper draws some recommendations to overcome this situation.
