Abstract

This study is concerned with the role of the family in the migration decision-making process. Since the family is the basic social unit in Bangladesh, it is likely that the migration of a family member would be decided by the family. A micro-level exploratory analysis was undertaken with the aim of formulating research hypotheses about the process of migration decision-making within the family in Bangladesh.
