“…Given the utility of mixed embeddedness, the government and other support organizations can become enablers or inhibitors of immigrant entrepreneurship (Rath, 2000;Rath and Swagerman, 2015). By actively providing services that support and encourage entrepreneurship among immigrants, the state and its agencies, along with non-state agencies, can become enablers of immigrant entrepreneurship.…”

This study examines the demand and supply dynamics of entrepreneurship support services for new immigrant women in the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), Ontario, Canada. Empirical evidence presented in this study reveals significant unmet needs for entrepreneurship support services. Major reasons for the inability of settlement agencies to meet the entrepreneurship needs of new immigrants include prioritization of other support services and lack of funding. The study identifies unfamiliarity with the Canadian environment, discrimination, business regulations that are difficult to satisfy, and unlikely tendencies of the immigrants to ask for support as some of the key challenges to entrepreneurship among immigrant women. However, these challenges may be ameliorated with enhanced entrepreneurship and language training, information awareness campaigns and more funding, among other factors. The findings have practical implications for accountable governments and non‐governmental organizations as they design and/or redesign immigration and settlement policies to facilitate integration of new immigrants.

“…Bangladesh is a riverine nation with a long history of interaction with rivers and wetlands with fertile land rich in pollen due to its geographical environment and position with respect to sea level. Besides other different geographical locations, wetlands (haor) are equally and sometimes more important in Bangladesh because they provide a stable breeding ground for fish, provide a diverse environment, help to purify contaminated water, and provide employment opportunities for millions of people [2,3,4]. It also settles pollen at the bottom, which appears mostly during dry season, providing a lot of fertile lands that are incredibly productive for growing crops in these regions.…”

Small-scale fishing communities in haor areas are among the most vulnerable to climate change and poverty. The aim of this study is to investigate the context of small-scale fishing communities in Sunamganj and nearby regions in terms of climate change and poverty. Haor regions are critical to the Bangladeshi economy, and many of people rely on them for a living. Small-scale fishing communities in Sunamganj are regarded the most vulnerable among the populations who live in haor regions because they are socially disadvantaged, undereducated, lack market access, have the identity of a working-class community, and have no notion how to change their fortunes. Due of climate change, the environment in many locations is changing, and as a result, the supply of fish is diminishing year after year. Additionally, the regular flash floods in these locations leave the fishing population vulnerable owing to restricted access to basic supplies. These factors contribute to the impoverishment of the small-scale fishing community and its decline into the vicious cycle of poverty. Also, they have limited access to tools and other sources of money that may aid them in escaping poverty. Hence, even if they tried, they couldn't escape their predicament of poverty. As following objectives, we offered a number of government initiatives, additional revenue streams, and local infrastructure restoration.
