However, Bangladesh has reduced population growth and improved health and education. </p> <p>The major employer is agriculture, but it is unable to meet the demand for jobs. So, many Bangladeshis - in common with citizens from other countries in the region - seek work abroad, sometimes illegally.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12650940">Full Article</a> <p>Myanmar, also known as Burma, was long considered a pariah state, isolated from the rest of the world with an appalling human rights record. </p> <p>From 1962 to 2011, the country was ruled by a military junta that suppressed almost all dissent and wielded absolute power in the face of international condemnation and sanctions.</p> <p>The generals who ran the country stood accused of gross human rights abuses, including the forcible relocation of civilians and the widespread use of forced labour, including children.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12990563">Full Article</a>
