Abstract:
The aim of this study was to explore the causes and consequences of migration among the fishermen in the Chalan Beel (largest wetland in Northern Bangladesh) area. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected through schedule technique and structured questionnaire as tools of social survey method along with Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Both the open-ended and close-ended questions were used in the structured questionnaire. Three generations were considered to identify the fishing community. Fishermen were migrated due to scarcity of fish, financial crisis, harassment and to avail occupational and educational opportunities for their children in the destination. Both internal and external migrations were found in the fishing community. It was found that their socio-economic conditions have been improved and they were satisfied with their present status.
