Economic Factors Leading to Unrest

The economic dissatisfaction among the majority of Bangladesh's population has played a crucial role in the recent unrest and political upheaval. A lack of tangible economic progress, particularly in basic livelihoods, fueled public discontent that had been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war. Reports of government denial regarding the economic struggles faced by citizens, along with issues of financial mismanagement, contributed significantly to the protests that led to political change. This combination of stagnant conditions and governmental neglect ultimately sparked a nationwide uprising demanding better governance and justice in economic policies.
