Opis

Migration is an unavoidable continuous process from the very beginning of civilization which has been considered as an important livelihood strategy for both rural and urban population. It also plays an important role (positive or negative) in the development of any country. In developing countries like Bangladesh, migration to cities creates more hazards in development. So, it is important to assess the socio-economic conditions of migrants and their causes. This study focuses this issue and recommends some policy which plays an important role for further advanced research. Clearly, it would be very helpful for policy makers, program designers to design or redesign programs or existing programs considering the identified risk factor of migration to cities in Bangladesh.
