Place, social protection and migration in Bangladesh: a Londoni village in Biswanath Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE MIGRATION MARKET LIVING CONDITIONS STANDARD OF LIVING LABOUR ECONOMICS FAMILY POVERTY This working paper, which is based on recent research in Biswanath, Sylhet (in Bangladesh) discusses the issue of 'social protection' and it's presence in the development discourse. The context is a 'Londoni' village (i.e. a village with high levels of transnational migration to the UK). This has led to what appears to be an economic 'boom': new houses and businesses have proliferated, whilst villagers returning from the UK either for a holiday or longer periods are often lavishly generous, giving a great deal of 'help' to their village-based relatives, as well as other forms of charity to the local poor. 2026-09-30T11:45:10Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33353490.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Place_social_protection_and_migration_in_Bangladesh_a_Londoni_village_in_Biswanath/33353490 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
