Bangladesh: Record number of Bangladeshi workers likely to go to South Korea this year

DHAKA, 04 August 2022, (TON): According to the Dhaka EPS Center “the number of Bangladeshi workers in South Korea, recruited under the Employment Permit System, is likely to be over 3,600 this year.”

A total of 2,594 Bangladeshi workers have already been recruited by South Korea between January and July 2022.

The government of the Republic of Korea plans to allocate over 1,000 additional quotas to Bangladesh this year to meet the increasing demand by Korean employers, said the Korean Embassy in Dhaka.

If things go well it will be the highest number since the start of Korea’s EPS programme with Bangladesh in 2008.

It was in 2010 that the highest number of Bangladesh EPS workers, 2,691, went to Korea.
