Eradicating Corruption for higher Standard of living.

Abstract

The article "Eradicating Corruption for Higher Standard of Living" by M. Azizur Rahman analyzes the systemic impact of corruption on Bangladesh's socio-economic development and proposes measures to combat it. The author argues that corruption undermines public trust, distorts resource allocation, and perpetuates inequality, ultimately hindering improvements in living standards. The analysis highlights key sectors prone to graft—including public administration, law enforcement, and business licensing—while emphasizing how corruption exacerbates poverty by diverting funds from essential services. The article advocates for institutional reforms, stronger accountability mechanisms, and civic engagement to foster transparency. By comparing Bangladesh's challenges with anti-corruption successes in other developing nations, the author concludes that sustained political will and judicial independence are critical to creating a fairer society where economic growth translates into tangible quality-of-life improvements for all citizens.
