Employment rate, 15 and over during each prime minister's tenure

Every prime minister since 1991, ranked by how the employment rate, 15 and over changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

No tenure qualifies with these filters.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last quarter complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % of the population aged 15 and over · Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, Labour Force Survey, persons aged 15 and over, as ILOSTAT compiles it: quarterly estimates from the 2016-17 round (July 2016 to June 2017) and again from 2022, when the survey became continuous; the rounds of 2010 and 2013 before them, dated at mid-year; no survey between July 2017 and December 2021, none published since the end of 2024 · Bangladesh data · as of Sep 2026.
