Summary:

In Bangladesh the Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET) has worked with the Ministry of Expatriate Welfare and Overseas Employment and IOM to create Market Research Units (MRUs) in receiving countries. The MRUs are responsible for gathering information on labour market needs in recruiting countries and to report these to BMET so that they can be taken into account when developing future training and educational programs.
