Facing competition from Vietnam and Cambodia, factories are using automation and surveillance to ramp up production and cut labor costs.

  • Automation in Dhaka’s garment factories is leading to job cuts, especially for women.
  • Smart surveillance devices monitor workers as factories struggle to compete globally.
