Abstract
Bangladesh has become an important center for industrial and commercial growth. The economy of Bangladesh is supported in part by industrialization. A nation’s overall economic and regional growth depends on economic development and regional integration. Bangladesh’s southern region has considerably improved the country’s economy. However, Bangladesh shares this issue with many other developing nations: unchecked economic expansion. The country’s undeveloped and disintegrating regions result from a lack of planned development planning and future estimation of employment sectors. The regional analysis approach through the short run and long run helps in minimizing regional inequities by promoting economic activities that provide jobs and prosperity. The research aims for structural development and factor integration toward planned development in the economic sector. Districts like Khulna, Satkhira, Bagerhat, and Narail in the southern regions generate a huge possibility in economic growth after the improvement in the transportation network and PADMA Bridge. The shift-share analysis attains more depth to the research attaining the changes in industrialization and economic growth all over the country.
