There are 4,000 garment factories and over four million garment workers in Bangladesh. Supporting workers to be able to use their accounts safely and confidently requires a concerted effort from all of the different organizations they come into contact with during the transition from cash to digital wages. HERproject has therefore explored a new way of engaging stakeholders who are important touchpoints for workers during wage digitization
HERessentials, a tablet-based learning app for workers and managers, started as a response to the COVID-19 crisis, but it has the potential to build digital capabilities for all workers. We share three key recommendations for businesses considering how to set up digital training in supply chains.
Digitizing wages in Cambodia’s garment sector has the potential to drive efficiency in the supply chain, while bringing large numbers of unbanked workers, especially women, into the formal financial system. This blog details research by HERproject and IFC, under the ILO/IFC Better Work partnership, in close collaboration with Better Factories Cambodia and Microfinance Opportunities.
This report shares the benefits for garment sector workers and business following participation in HERfinance in India.
This guide offers practical advice on developing and delivering wage digitization programs that can lead to women's economic empowerment.
Interviews led by HERproject suggest that female and male garment workers were more financially resilient following wage digitization and financial capability training. However, the systemic gender inequalities that have long affected women and girls were exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
