The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay.

A typical family youth worker working in Bangladesh brings home around 10,366 BDT a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 56,640 BDT, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 197,600 BDT for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

How family youth worker pay ranges in Bangladesh

A good way to think about salary in Bangladesh is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all family youth workers in Bangladesh earn less than 136,100 BDT a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 84,580 BDT (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 180,300 BDT (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of family youth workers sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 56,640 BDT. The highest stretch to 197,600 BDT, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Family youth worker pay by experience in Bangladesh

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a family youth worker in Bangladesh, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical family youth worker salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    66,820 BDT
  • 2-5 Years
    +28% from previous
    85,760 BDT
  • 5-10 Years

    129,000 BDT
  • 10-15 Years

    +9% from previous
    172,200 BDT
  • 20+ Years
    +7% from previous
    185,100 BDT

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 50%. That is the point at which a family youth worker typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Family youth worker pay by education in Bangladesh

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving family youth worker pay in Bangladesh. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Below is the average family youth worker salary in Bangladesh broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

  • Bachelor's Degree

Family youth worker gender pay gap in Bangladesh

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Bangladesh is no exception. Male family youth workers in Bangladesh earn an average of 111,240 BDT a year, while female family youth workers earn around 137,400 BDT. That works out to a 19% gap in favour of women, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for a family youth worker in Bangladesh
