Researchers: Student members of Arthonity Chorcha
Kendro, Dhaka University
The vast majority of rural poor in Bangladesh are landless.
For this reason most of them work as agricultural labour
on land belonging to others. They remain unemployed
during the lean seasons. The objective of the researchers
of Arthonity Chorcha Kendra, Department of Economics
of Dhaka University, is to investigate how their income
fluctuates with the agricultural cycle and what survival
strategies they adopt during the lean season. The young
researchers who are taking part in this research are
also building their own capacity for research under
the guidance of a university professor. The action research
project also aims at helping the poverty groups to identify
the most effective survival strategy for their situation
and for overcoming their seasonal crisis.
