Education has multiple effects—both economic and non-economic. The well-known noneconomic effects relate to health, nutrition, and social cohesion. Better educated population has lower child poverty, lower child and maternal under-nutrition, higher female agency and empowerment. The present paper is about economic effects of education. Encouraging upward economic mobility through deliberate accumulation of educational human capital often spanned over inter-generational frame of reference--while ensuring quality education for all--is one sure time-tested way of fighting the “injustice of poverty” (Galor and Zeira 1993; Sobhan 2011).

Seventh Year Plan – Improving Access of the Poor to Financial Services
In Bangladesh, financial services are provided by a variety of financial intermediaries that are part of the country’s financial system. There are three broad types of providers of financial services—formal, quasi-formal and informal, the distinction is based primarily on whether there is a legal infrastructure that provides recourse to lenders and protection to depositors. Although the formal financial services are provided by financial institutions licensed by the government and subject to banking regulations and supervision, quasi-formal financial services are not regulated by the banking authorities. These institutions are usually licensed and supervised by other government agencies. On the other hand, informal financial services are provided by individuals and institutions outside the structure of government regulation and supervision.

SEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN FY2016 – FY2020
The 7th FYP has been formulated with full recognition that the 'outlier' phenomenon is not merely a blip on the development path but rather a sustainable occurrence chartering a new development trajectory. Lauded as a 'Development Surprise' by prominent international media, Bangladesh has emerged as a shining example for countries throughout the world as it continues to defy traditional, linear development models and innovate a novel, alternative pathway for socioeconomic progress.

Mid-Term Implementation Review of the Sixth Five Year Plan (2011-15) of Bangladesh
For the first time in the history of economic planning in Bangladesh, the Sixth Five Year Plan introduced the concept of results-based monitoring and evaluation (RBME). This was done to be consistent with the spirit of indicative planning whereby the Sixth Plan was conceived as a living document that would be monitored for results, and changed and adapted in light of these outcomes and changing global and domestic economic environment.

First Implementation Review of the Sixth Five Year Plan
The Sixth Five Year Plan (2011-2015) seeks to accelerate growth and reduce poverty. With the completion of the second year of the Plan, the Government believes it is important to evaluate the implementation progress with a view to understanding how well the Plan is being implemented, what policies are working, what are the emerging constraints, and what needs to be done to make mid-course corrections.

SIXTH FIVE YEAR PLAN – FY2011-FY2015
Over the past 40 y¬ears since independence, Bangladesh has increased its real per capita income by more than 130 percent, cut poverty by more than half, and is well set to achieve most of the Millennium Development Goals. Bangladesh’s development experience is particularly remarkable in that it stands out as a positive example of a resilient young nation that has fought many natural and global disasters as well as internal political debacles and yet stayed firm on the development path. Notwithstanding many external and internal shocks, per capita income has risen continuously and steady progress has been made in lowering poverty. This positive development experience provides the basis for optimism, notwithstanding the many remaining policy and institutional constraints and the global uncertainties, that Bangladesh will continue to make inroads in improving the living standards of its citizens.

Fifth Five Year Plan
The Fifth Five Year Plan (1997-2002) has been formulated with a vision as a guide. The dream of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman of Sonar Bangla from where poverty and deprivation will be banished forever has served as a beacon to the plan formulators. For too long this dream has remained unrealised. Adverse international situation affected our efforts to take a place of pride in the comity of nations. The brutal assassination of the Father of the Nation in 1975 took the nation away from the charted course of attaining prosperity in freedom. Our steps faltered. We continued along the trend lines. We did not yield ratchet effects through conscious, dispassionate and determined endeavour.

Sustainable Development Goals Bangladesh Progress Report 2020
The ‘Bangladesh SDGs Progress Report 2020’ prepares the ground in the lead up to 2019, highlighting how much more effort will be needed to reach the SDGs and meet the commitment to leave no one behind. The preparation process of the Report replicates the similar methodology as adopted in preparing the Bangladesh’s first SDGs Progress Report in 2018. The year 2020 is a critical juncture to reflect on the first four years of the Agenda 2030 implementation and to allow for adjustments to priorities and course corrections. For Bangladesh, it represents a key window of opportunity to inject urgency and catalyse updated or new commitments from all stakeholders – all of which will be necessary if leave no one behind goal and Agenda 2030 are to be achieved.
