Abstract

This impact case study looks at what has been achieved by a DFID-ESRC Growth Research Programme (DEGRP) project investigating barriers to women鈥檚 promotion into management in Bangladesh鈥檚 garment sector.

Led by Christopher Woodruff from Oxford University, the project has helped shift perceptions about female production supervisors, and change promotion practices in certain factories.
