d. Migration-related profile

From 2005 to 2019, the total people migrated from Dhaka is 3 lakh 97 thousand 258. Among of them

28 thousand 51 persons migrated in 2019. On 2020 (up to May) 6 thousand 6 hundred and 12 persons

migrated from Dhaka district. In Dhaka division there are 3 Technical training centres available for

migrants to provide language and skill, Housekeeping training and pre-departure training. These are-

Bangladesh German TTC in Mirpur, Bangladesh Korea TTC in Mirpur, Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib

Mohila TTC in Dhaka. Before November 2016, biometric fingerprint for migrants only available in

DEMO Dhaka. But now it is decentralized and available in 42 DEMOS. Smart card is a mandatory

process for migration from Bangladesh. This smart card introduced in 2010 at DEMO Dhaka but now,

it will be available in 6 more DEMOs. DEMO Dhaka is responsible authority for all this district alone.

People need to travel in Dhaka for registration, finger tumbling and collection of smart cards in Dhaka

DEMO office, which is time consuming, expensive and sometimes create hassle for migrants especially

female migrants.

In Dhaka, internal migration, like Rural-Urban Migration, involves the movement of people from rural

areas or country sides to urban areas of the same country in search of new opportunities and

lifestyles. Dhaka is the top most populated district as enumerated in 2011. The population of Dhaka

division increased around one million per decade before 1961 census, but after 1961 census, Dhaka

division’s population increased at a rate around six million per decades. Around 7.62% of the total

population of Bangladesh is born in Barisal, out of which 3.24 percent migrated to other divisions

(largest 1.62% in Dhaka and out-migration of Dhaka division is 9.0% and 16.42% is in migration. In

Chittagong, Dhaka and Sylhet division in-migration is more than out-migration results rapid

population growth. (Source: Bangladesh population census and housing census 2011)

As expected, Dhaka division, being the capital city, seems to be the more favorite area and has

become migration destination area in the country. For instance, 34.13% of Rangpur and 26.71% of

Chittagong divisions migrated to Dhaka followed by Khulna 23.87%, Rajshahi 22.78% and Barisal

21.20%. Only Sylhet division seems to have a small proportion of their citizens residing in Dhaka

6

division. The migration to Dhaka division is not a strange phenomenon because the concentration of

economic and political institutions in Dhaka attracted migrants from other regions. It is interesting to

note that people born in Sylhet division are less likely to migrate compared to others. Out migration

of Dhaka division is 7.30% and 22.17% is in migration (Source: Bangladesh population census and

housing census 2011.)

Migration is selective based on sex, age and other social and economic characteristics. This section

examines sex differentials in the migratory process of Bangladesh in 2011. In the past when males

dominated the livelihoods of the households, the male adult considered as head of the household

moved first; and then followed by the wife and children, and other ageing members of the family.

Most of the migrants live in Dhaka division, 52.8% in 2004 and 38.7% in 2011. In Dhaka division for

rural migrants 30.9% in 2004 and 41% in 2011 and for urban migrants 59% in 2004 and 36.4% in 2011.

Dhaka and Gazipur are the most popular districts for internal migration. This is not unusual. Being the

capital of the country, Dhaka has the topmost scope of education and business accompanying all other

urban facilities. More importantly, people usually want to, and sometimes must, live in Dhaka for job

searching and for their current employment as well. After Dhaka, people mostly prefer to migrate to

districts nearby Dhaka like Gazipur and then Narayanganj. This is possibly their inability of staying in

Dhaka but to keep close.

In 2011, most of the migration from rural to rural took place in Dhaka, Gazipur and Narayanganj

districts. Lifetime urban to rural maximum migration took place in Gazipur and Narayanganj districts.

Internal Migration and Human Capital

Selectivity of migration varies according to education of the migrants, too. Migration may have both

negative and positive effect on education. For many families, migration was needed for higher and

better education, especially for their children. For many others, disruptions, including education

disruptions accompanying migration may have significant negative impacts on migrants and their

family members. Availability of job opportunities at the place of destination, whatsoever be the

quality, play a very important role regarding the process of migration decision. In 2011, only 13% of

the migrants are attending school of that 1.7% and 0.4% are graduates and master’s student,

respectively

e. Special feature of the district (including special holidays or cultural events)

In Dhaka, Ekushey Book Fair, which is arranged each year by Bangla Academy and takes place for the

whole month of February. This event is dedicated to the martyrs who died on 21 February 1952 in a

demonstration calling for the establishment of Bengali as one of the state languages of former East

Pakistan. Shakrain Festival (Bengali: সােরাইন) is an annual celebration observed with the flying

of kites. It usually observed in old part of the city at the end of Poush, the ninth month of the Bengali

calendar (14 January or 15 in Gregorian calendar).
