History

During the American Civil War the need for ready-made uniforms helped the garment sector grow in the United States.[2] Near the end of the nineteenth century because there were changes in societal views towards ready-made garments: They were no longer seen as only for the lower classes but also for the middle classes because of the view of the social aspect and how it has changed in value. This trend started in the United States. In the beginning they were more popular with men than women.[3] In the late 1860s, twenty-five percent of garments produced in the US were ready-made, but by 1890, the portion had risen to sixty percent. By 1951, ninety percent of garments sold in the United States were ready made. During the same time two-thirds of garments sold in France were ready made.[4]

The ready-made garment (RMG) industry is flourishing in Bangladesh because of its export-quota system and cheap labor. The main diversifications of the ready-made garment industry in Bangladesh are exportations to the United States and the European Union. In 2005, the eventual phase-out of the export-quota system had raised competitiveness. However, long-term development and deep-level competitiveness are concluded to be hindered long-term.[6] However, long-term development and deep-level competitiveness are concluded to be hindered long-term. Additionally, the RMG industry in Bangladesh has suffered workplace disasters and fatalities. Bangladesh has since launched different initiatives to improve worker and factory safety.[7]
