Exposed workers by sector

MODEL

Ranking in Bangladesh

MODEL

By modelled AI exposure, out of 7 regions.

About these estimates. No source publishes AI exposure by region for every country. The model splits Bangladesh's real ILO sector employment across regions using population (Wikidata) and density: denser, capital-city regions get more finance, ICT and professional jobs, and rural regions more farming. Totals match national figures. AI usage figures are measured, not modelled. Methodology
