Patterns and factors of out-migration in the Meghna Estuarine Islands of Bangladesh

Although migration may be regarded as fundamentally social and economic in nature natural hazards are found to be increasingly responsible for human migration. Given this context this paper explores the trends and factors of out-migration in Meghna Estuarine Islands. In this empirical research, pr...
