University graduates account for 55.78 percent of the decent jobs in Bangladesh, according to a World Bank study released yesterday.

More than 30 percent decent jobs are held by the people who passed the SSC and HSC levels, the study said. 

A decent job is permanent with written contract, 'decent' working hour and earnings along with essential institutional features like leave, pension and termination notice.

The study also said electricity shortage is seen as the main detrimental to the business environment while the lack of skilled employees is seen as the second worst detrimental to the business environment.

The findings of the study were presented at a seminar on 'skills for decent employment -- an effective means of social transformation' at the Dhaka Skills Summit at Sonargaon Hotel in Dhaka.
