“…Gender issue, job opportunities, income differences, family welfare, remittances, temporary versus permanent migration, destination, networks etc. are some of the considerations at the family level which get pivotal importance while taking migration decision (Chattopadhyay, 2000;Joarder & Hasanuzzaman, 2008;Winters, Janvry, & Sadoulet, 2001).…”

Migration decision making of the household is an important dimension in migration literature as it involves the socioeconomic factors of both source and destination places. This study is an endeavour to conceptualize the determinants of choice and level of migration in household migration decision making. It captures both the single location and multiple locations destination option that a prospective migrating family faces while taking migration decision. Applying Heckman two-step technique and McFadden's maximum likelihood multinomial logit model, the study found that factors like experience of the family head, schooling level of the family, income of the family, income differences in post-and pre-migration situation, village networking etc., are the major factors in family migration decision making.

“…Considering the environmental and socioeconomic challenges that Bangladesh faces, numerous studies have shown that migration, whether voluntary or forced, temporary or permanent and internal or external, has been one of the main features of life in the region since the 18th century (Siddiqui, 2003; Joarder and Hasanuzzaman, 2008).…”

Climate change and internal migration patterns in Bangladesh: an agent-based model. EnvironmentABSTRACT. Bangladesh is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change impacts such as extreme weather events, due to its low-lying topography, high population density and widespread poverty. In this paper, we report on the development and results of an agent-based model of the migration dynamics that may arise in Bangladesh as a result of climate change. The main modules are each calibrated with data on relevant indicators, such as the incidences of extreme poverty, socioeconomic vulnerability, demography, and historical drought, cyclone and flood patterns. The results suggest likely changes in population densities across Bangladesh due to migration from the drought-prone western districts and areas vulnerable to cyclones and floods in the south, towards northern and eastern districts. The model predicts between 3 and 10 million internal migrants over the next 40 years, depending on the severity of the hazards. Some associated policy considerations are also discussed.

“…Using stratified sampling technique, we have interviewed 186 returned migrants to collect data from different areas of greater Sylhet region of Bangladesh as more than 50% of total migration from Bangladesh occurred from this region since the middle of the last century (Joarder and Hasanuzzaman 2008;Ahmad and Zohora 1997). The study areas were mainly Sylhet Sadar, Golapganj, Kulaura, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Sunamgonj, Jagannathpur, Bishwanth, Fenchuganj, Bianibazar, Balaganj, Nabiganj, Chunarughat, Zuri, Rajnagar.…”

Following Friedman et al. (2000), we have developed an economic model of Hundi (an informal money transfer system) behavior and is designated to identify the factors that determine the channels (formal or informal) used by remitters. The model is empirically tested using Tobit analysis for a sample of 132 returned migrants of greater Sylhet region in Bangladesh with work experience in 11 different host countries. Our findings suggest that sending remittances through Hundi first increases with age, peaks at one point, and then declines thereafter. It is observed that single or unmarried migrants are more likely to remit through Hundi, while relatively educated migrants have the opposite preferences. Cost and financing of migration have significant impact on an individual's decision to choose the remitting channel. It is also found that the nature of the migration and type of job abroad affect an individual's decision to use the remitting channel. Furthermore, migrants who have no ability to speak the language of the country of destination are generally more inclined to remit through an informal channel. Finally, migrants who receive low commission to remit, have families or relatives living in remote areas and mainly dependent on remittances, and have the opportunity to remit in holidays are more likely to remit through Hundi than their counterparts.
