Emerging Trends Among Transnational Bangladeshi Families in the Gulf
摘要
This chapter examines emerging trends among transnational Bangladeshi families in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries through an interdisciplinary lens. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and fieldwork, it explores the lived experiences, challenges, and adaptations of these families in navigating the complexities of migration and cultural transitions. Key themes include the perks and hardships of urban life, evolving gender roles, access to education, marriage patterns, and the psychological impacts of familial separation. The findings shed light on the interplay between economic motivations and emotional factors, highlighting the significance of non-economic considerations in migration research and the need for amplified scholarly investigations into the multifaceted realities of transnational families.
