| description | Bangladesh is a lower-middle-income country in South Asia where traditional
fishermen, herein, Jaladas are at risk of chronic poverty. This study was conducted in
two Jaladas villages to identify the socio-economic transformations caused by the
inflows of capitals from different actors and the roles of various market functionaries,
traditional social institutions, and power relations. Moreover, it aims to examine the
coping strategies; and providing policy recommendations for their inclusion and wellbeing.
This study adopted the qualitative research design, specifically the Key Informant
Interview (KII), Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and household level case studies. A
random survey of 100 households was conducted. The findings revealed that NGO-led
interventions increase awareness, leadership development, education, access to health and
sanitation facilities, and provide alternative employment skills to improve the quality of
life in one of the villages studied. In the meantime, the increase numbers of commercial
entrepreneurs have led higher over-exploitation of fisheries resources where powerful
market functionaries control the fish marketing structure. |
