Bangladesh has low levels of urbanization but a high urban
population in absolute terms, being one of the most densely
populated countries in the world. Rapid urbanization in developing
countries brings numerous problems and challenges; urban poverty is
one important issue. This important volume presents the findings of
a complex and revealing multidisciplinary cohort study conducted in
the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Detailed information was assembled
on material, social and economic conditions, livelihoods, health
and nutritional status. Together with associated qualitative work,
the data forms the basis for understanding groups who are
vulnerable to economic and environmental shocks and stresses, and
for differentiating strategies which might be adaptive in
situations of hardship and scarcity. The author examines many
aspects of poverty and vulnerability including livelihoods, work
disabling illness and coping strategies, the female workforce,
women's negotiation and well being, marital instability, child
labour, and investments in health and nutrition, and utilizes the
assembled material to debate on policy options.
