The Minimum Wage Board (Bengali: নিম্নতম মজুরী বোর্ড) is a Bangladesh government regulatory agency under the Ministry of Labour and Employment responsible for recommending changes to the minimum wage, which varies by industry, to the government.[1]

History

Minimum Wage Board was established in 1959 by the Government of Pakistan based on the International Labour Organization conference in 1928.[2] The board is responsible for establishing the minimum wage for all industries including the Textile industry in Bangladesh.[3][4] According to Bangladesh labor law, minimum wages must be revised every five years.[5]
