ABSTRACT

The 2012 household survey on corruption conducted by Transparency International (TI) Bangladesh showed that, on average, 4.8 per cent of household income was lost to petty corruption in six selected sectors: education, health, land administration, justice, police and income tax. For higher-income households the ratio of loss (1.3 per cent) was less than the average, whereas for the lowest-income category of household the ratio was much higher, at 5.5 per cent. 2
