 Executive Summary

A clothing store is a common place to all classes of people in Bangladesh and it is found in every
market throughout our country. Sometimes it is also found at sidewalk. There are many kind of
products like pant, T-shirt, Punjabi, suitcase, lungi, shirt etc. sold in a clothes store. It opens early
in the morning and closes late at night usually at 8 p.m. I have conducted this survey on the
livelihood of the owners of the clothes store. This survey was conducted with the objectives of
analyzing the present scenario of the clothes store owners in Bangladesh. Data’s were collected
through a field survey from Gulistan and GPO of Baitul Mukarram area with the help of
comprehensive questionnaires. There were different categories of data such as name and age of
owner of the enterprise, number of employees, number of family members, yesterday’s profit,
requirement of additional loan, amount of land for living, house rent, literacy rate, marital status
etc.

A number of statistical tools (both quantitative and qualitative) were used to analyze different
variables. Frequency table and Cumulative frequency distribution organize the data in different
class interval and also graphically represent them. A correlation analysis was done among
variables to identify their characteristics and how one variable is changing with respect to
another variable. A multiple linear regression model technique was used to determine effect of
different variables. In this model, the average monthly profit used as dependent variable. Initially
six independent variables were taken into consideration to see their impact on average monthly
profit. After some logical and rational analysis, it was shown that only four independent variables
have significant effect on average monthly profit.
