Impact statement: This research contributes to SDGs 3, 8, and 9 by examining labour governance and compliance in Bangladesh. For SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), it highlights gaps between labour law and practice, particularly in employment security, profit-sharing, and worker voice, showing how weak enforcement undermines decent work. For SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), the study identifies governance challenges in multinational-linked firms, demonstrating how regulatory weaknesses and delayed legal processes can hinder responsible industrial development. Regarding SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), it contributes indirectly by addressing workplace insecurity and stress arising from weak labour protections. Stronger enforcement of labour standards supports safer and more stable working conditions. Overall, the study underscores the importance of effective labour governance for worker well-being, fair employment, and sustainable economic development.
