The treatment of migrant workers is subject to significant differences and inequitable treatment of migrants in Bangladesh raises concerns about equality as established in the Constitution of Bangladesh. The research applied the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Migration Governance Framework (MiGOF) and included an analysis of governance practices by Government, Non-Government and Academic Stakeholders with IOM compliance of equality to determine the level of governance provided to migrants in five areas of Migration Governance Policy (Policy), Institutions (Institutions), Services (Services), Resource Allocation (Resources) and Accountability. Qualitative data were collected through documentary analysis and interviews with thirty-four (34) stakeholders from the Government, Civil Society, Academia and Migrant Communities. Findings indicate that systemic differences exist for three different categories of migrant worker. Specifically, overseas labour migrants are represented by a more comprehensive body of laws, welfare programmes and banking institutions, while Rohingya refugees, climate displaced persons, irregular migrants and internal migrants are subject to fragmented and/or punitive governance regimes. Economic expectations are the principal driving force behind the development of the IOM's Governance Policy. Therefore, the requirements for Governance Accountability and Governance Framework are applied inconsistently and are not aligned with the rights-based obligations of the Constitution. The findings of the study indicate the need for an integrated, rights-based framework to address structural inequalities and provide lessons to other climate-vulnerable countries in the Global South.
