LightCastle Partners has recently signed a contract with ILO for the research project titled, “Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Retail Sales Jobs in Bangladesh”. LightCastle will support ILO-ADB by investigating the impact of COVID-19 on the employment of men and women in the retail sales sector in Bangladesh. Ultimately, the evidence will contribute to an ILO-ADB study of the gender penalties to employment outcomes and prospects brought about by the pandemic.
LightCastle plans to assess the current situation by adopting a mixed-method approach to understand how the pandemic is affecting the retail workforce Dhaka and Savar, especially female workers working in the retail sector.
