Abstract: Chief executive officer (CEO) compensation is a sensitive area and a controversial issue in corporate governance; as critics assert CEOs are paid excessively and thus they maintain strategies to maximize self-returns rather than the interests of shareholders. This paper will investigate the major determinants of variations in CEO compensation among FTSE 100 companies. Amongst the determinants board structure is revealed to be the most power determinant in the variation of the CEO pay whereas, firm performance as a determinant has shown almost no relation to the CEO compensation with significance levels of at least 2% (t-stat).

Abstract: This study identifies the current contribution of the informal sector in the economy of Bangladesh, the steps involved, and problems associated with informal sector employment in urban areas of the country. Few previously published data is used with that of 387 respondents from five divisional cities of Bangladesh surveyed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings show that the informal sector generates nearly ninety percent of the total employment and contributes nearly half of the GDP. Besides this, the informal sector employment in urban areas of Bangladesh can be structured into six steps sequential process. Participants face several problems in both establishment and operation of their businesses, which are common at both stages but vary in degrees. The most significant problems are the shortage of capital, low profitability, establishment or service charge, and competition. These findings would be valuable in future policymaking in urban planning, employment, and income distribution in Bangladesh..
