dc.description	To help non-resident Bangladeshis remit their income by legal means, the Wage Scheme was launched in 1974. This program soon became very popular with Bangladeshi migrant workers working abroad. Bangladeshi migrants returned approximately $ 11.8 million to their country of origin in the 1974-75 fiscal year. The amount of remittances increased by more than $ 350 million in the 1980-81 fiscal year and by $ 750 million in the 1990-91 fiscal year. Since then, Bangladesh has received more remittances from year to year. As the number of migrant workers from Bangladesh has increased rapidly over the years, there has been a significant increase in the amount of annual remittances to the country. In June 2019, Bangladesh receives almost Remittance amount of $ 15 billion. Remittances are increasing day by day as a key force for economic growth and poverty reduction in Bangladesh. In fact, it is the second largest position in Bangladesh's foreign exchange earnings sector (Bangladesh Bank, 2017). Bangladesh is one of the recipients of remittances from other countries of the world. Many people work abroad as skilled, semi-skilled workers or unskilled workers. Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Iran, etc. Important countries where Bangladeshi workers work hard to make money. Transfer workers play an important role in the absence of trade deficit in Bangladesh (import payment is higher than export revenue). Remittances have contributed to easing social and economic indicators such as nutrition, living conditions and housing, education, health, poverty reduction, social security and investment activities of host households. Remittances have played a big role in Bangladesh’s economic growth and people’s livelihoods. Income from remittances is more valuable to any developing country like Bangladesh. The importance of remittances vis-à-vis most macroeconomic variables has changed in addition to their contribution to GDP. Remittances make a major contribution to our national economy by increasing foreign exchange reserves, per capita income and employment opportunities. Bangladesh has consistently received strong remittances as migrant workers work hard and make huge money abroad, thus expanding Bangladesh’s GDP (gross domestic product). In 2018, remittances sent by migrant workers accounted for 7.0 percent of Bangladesh’s total GDP ($ 195 billion). With these remittances, the government compensated for the lack of trade. The determining factors of the transfer are foreign employment, GDP growth and exchange rate and oil prices. Remittances are helping to alleviate poverty in Bangladesh by developing micro-enterprises, creating significant employment and income.	en_US
