Understanding how livelihood diversification contributes to long-term non-migration decisions of people at risks is innovative and timely in the context of future climate change adaptation planning. This study particularly examines this question and explores how and to what extent livelihood diversification in the face of climate change can support long-term non-migration for people living in the southwest coastal region of Bangladesh. We employed a cluster random sampling method to select the respondents and interviewed a total of 183 households by using a structured questionnaire. Analysis indicates that the tendency of livelihood diversification based on shrimp-farming has been intensified in recent years as the land use pattern also changed due to the frequent occurrence of environmental hazards. The Poisson regression model states that belonging to a religious minority and shrimp farming determines the extent of livelihood diversification, i.e., if the person belongs to a minority religion and possesses a shrimp-farm they will have more diversified sources of income compared to others living in the society. Moreover, therefore, one in every three households in these studied communities’ practices seasonal migration as an alternative livelihood strategy so that their family can stay put. The outcome of this study motivates the government and non-government organizations to take policies and programs in a direction that may reduce the dependency on seasonal migration and introduce locally adoptable diversified employment opportunities.

生计多样化是长期不移民的关键:来自孟加拉国沿海的证据

在未来气候变化适应规划的背景下,了解生计多样化如何促进面临风险的人的长期非移民决定是创新和及时的。本研究特别研究了这个问题,并探讨了面对气候变化的生计多样化如何以及在多大程度上支持生活在孟加拉国西南沿海地区的人们的长期非移民。我们采用整群随机抽样的方法来选择受访者,并使用结构化问卷调查了总共 183 户。分析表明,由于环境危害的频繁发生,土地利用格局也发生了变化,近年来以养虾为主的生计多样化趋势有所加剧。Poisson 回归模型指出,属于宗教少数群体和养虾业决定了生计多样化的程度,即,如果该人属于少数宗教信仰并拥有养虾场,与生活在其他地区的其他人相比,他们的收入来源将更加多样化。社会。此外,因此,在这些研究社区中,每三个家庭中就有一个家庭将季节性迁移作为替代生计策略,以便他们的家庭能够留在原地。这项研究的结果促使政府和非政府组织采取政策和计划,以减少对季节性移民的依赖并引入当地可采用的多元化就业机会。如果此人属于少数宗教并拥有养虾场,与社会上的其他人相比,他们的收入来源将更加多样化。此外,因此,在这些被研究社区中,每三个家庭中就有一个家庭将季节性迁移作为替代生计策略,以便他们的家庭能够留在原地。这项研究的结果促使政府和非政府组织采取政策和计划,以减少对季节性移民的依赖并引入当地可采用的多元化就业机会。如果此人属于少数宗教并拥有养虾场,与社会上的其他人相比,他们的收入来源将更加多样化。此外,因此,在这些研究社区中,每三个家庭中就有一个家庭将季节性迁移作为替代生计策略,以便他们的家庭能够留在原地。这项研究的结果促使政府和非政府组织采取政策和计划,以减少对季节性移民的依赖并引入当地可采用的多元化就业机会。在这些被研究社区中,每三个家庭中就有一个家庭将季节性迁移作为替代生计策略,以便他们的家人能够留在原地。这项研究的结果促使政府和非政府组织采取政策和计划,以减少对季节性移民的依赖并引入当地可采用的多元化就业机会。在这些被研究社区中,每三个家庭中就有一个家庭将季节性迁移作为替代生计策略,以便他们的家人能够留在原地。这项研究的结果促使政府和非政府组织采取政策和计划,以减少对季节性移民的依赖并引入当地可采用的多元化就业机会。
