Being geographically remote, ecologically vulnerable and environmentally isolated,
poverty is severe and livelihood is onerous in the northeastern Haor area in Bangladesh.
Thus, this research which explores the nexus of poverty and livelihood in the Haor area
focuses on four specific objectives: characterizing poverty and the poor, causes and
consequences of poverty; examining the income determinants of the poor households;
exploring the dynamics of poverty and the impact of seasonal domestic migration of the
poor on poverty.
