Fighting poverty: the economic adjustment of female migrants in Dhaka

Shahnaz Huq-Hussain

Department of Geography, University of Dhaka, Ramna, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh.

This paper examines how recent and long-term female migrants find paid work when they arrive in Dhaka, including how long it takes to do so, the work they find, the income they receive, the extent to which they retain control over the income they earn and their work satisfaction. The paper also considers their intention to work, when moving to Dhaka and their work preferences on arrival. It highlights the importance of women's contribution to household income.
