Gender and migration from Bangladesh: Mainstreaming migration into the national development plans from a gender perspective

The study aims to present various dimensions and challenges of labour migration by women in Bangladesh. The status and dynamics of women migrant workers in terms of their remittance flows to Bangladesh, the position they hold in countries of destination, the particular occupations in which they are employed, and the skills they hold have been investigated in this research endeavour. In addition, the various dimensions of their migration experience, including the earlier stages, the pros and cons of overseas life, and their status and scope of reintegration upon return have also been discussed.
