Job: Canada vs Bangladesh

Friday, September 2, 2022

There are category D jobs all over the world, those who do that job are called labour. For example, many people work in agriculture, many people do construction work, many people clean the yard, and those who are engaged in picking fruits from trees. People who do category D jobs are treated differently by different countries.

A few days ago, tea plantation workers in Bangladesh protested for an increase in their wages. Basically they get paid a certain amount every day. For both boys and girls, they earned an average of 150 taka per day, which translates to $1.5 per day if converted to USD. Where they work on an average of 5 to 6 hours in the tea garden every day. But this money is too little for them, so they started agitating for salary increase. The movement brought some change for them and their pay is currently a little over 200 taka or $2 per day. So can you tell me how much taka or usd is earning per hour? They are working in the tea plantation for only 33 taka per hour which is only $0.30 in usd. But even with this little money they are very happy because their salary has increased a bit compared to earlier.

Our country's per capita income is above $2800 a year. But this information is completely false, because most of the people in this country lead a very low standard of living. In percentage terms, about 80% of people have a net income of less than $1000. But some corrupt officers, corrupt businessmen, dishonest employees who embezzled millions from the national treasury every year through dishonest means. Whose annual income is above 1 million usd. When their income is compared to the income of the poor, the per capita income of the poor increases. Which is not true information at all.

On the other hand, the better salary a D category employee gets in Canada or other developed countries is a dream salary for people working in A, B category in our country. A Category D officer earns an average of $25 per hour in Canada. That means their income is above $2200 per week. And every month that income is above $5500, that is, it takes 5 years for a common man of Bangladesh to earn what a Canadian earns in a month. In that case, a typical Canadian earns $57,000 per year.

But with increasing skill and experience, earning increases greatly. But people from foreign countries do not get visa to Canada easily. New because the Canadian government doesn't want people in their country who can't communicate with each other. That is, to enter Canada, you must score 6 in IELTS brand. But getting into Canada without IELTS is a bit complicated.

To move to a better position in a short period of time, one must move from a less developed country to a better developed country. And my dream is to leave the country as soon as possible.
