Urban Poverty in Bangladesh : Slum Communities, Migration and Social Integration PDF
by Shahadat Hossain
- Information
Description
The analysis of urban poverty has traditionally been dominated by economic approaches, often neglecting the social questions arising from poverty.
This book seeks to redress the balance and is based on both quantitative and qualitative data collected from different slums in Dhaka City, Bangladesh.
Shahadat Hossain shows that the slum communities experience the highest level of poverty and marginality in the city.
They remain very much dependent on their families and social networking in their struggle to adapt to urban life.
This book will be invaluable for those working in the areas of urban studies, development studies, Asian studies, sociology and social policy studies.
