At lest they can send back some remittance. Our trade deficit is met by remittance sent back by Bangladeshis working in foreign countries.

Actually with the little money they get, they are building the future of their next generation. I have seen two storied mansion styled building of foreign laborers in my Village.

I believe Bangladesh will soon end her poverty because of this - Money going to the hands of poorest - Migrant laborers and Garment workers. Their next generation is sent to school and they have food in their plate.

Appliance (TV, Fridge, AIRCON) ownership in villages are at all time high. Most places have indoor plumbing, showers, commodes you name it. Happy for them. They deserve it with all their hard work.
