The Ministry of Expatriates Welfare & Overseas Employment was established in 2001 by the Government of Bangladesh with the main objective to ensure the welfare of expatriate workers and enhance overseas employment. As a new institution, the Bureau of Manpower, Employment & Training (BMET) is currently the Ministry's only active unit. The objective BMET is to create new overseas employment opportunities through the global market. BMET ensures the welfare for the overseas employees and helps them directly to search works in the various countries of the world. BMET also collects labour market related information to inform the government in order to take an informed decision. This division helps unemployed people to be self-employed and to implement poverty alleviation programs. BMET develops and designs new policies and procedures to monitor the functions of recruiting agencies. The ultimate target of BMET is to increase the overseas employment, ensure welfare for overseas employees, help them to get conpensation from overseas employer, compensate them in case of death, illness, or any sort of problem overseas. Moreover, BMET helps to ensure the remitance inflow to boost up the country's economy.
