Quality of life of slum women a case study of mangalore cityAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the quality of life of women living in slums in Mangalore City, India. 200 women between the ages of 18-45 from 4 slums were surveyed using the WHOQOL quality of life scale. The scale measures 24 facets across 6 domains: physical, psychological, independence, social relationships, environment, and spiritual. Results found that women scored below average on all domains, with particularly low scores on the environmental and social relationships domains. This reveals a very poor quality of life for slum women due to neglect, suffering, and social alienation. Improving conditions and quality of life for these women should be a priority for governmental and non-governmental organizations.

This document summarizes the results of the NUTRICOM study, which aimed to determine the impact of nutrition risk status on outcomes like hospitalization, quality of life, and costs among older adults. The study found that a significant portion of participants could not be fully assessed for nutrition risk due to a lack of recent weight or intake information. Preliminary baseline results showed high levels of malnutrition risk, functional impairment, and low quality of life, especially among those in intermediate care or recently discharged from the hospital. Next steps include analyzing changes in outcomes over time based on nutrition risk status and designing nutritional interventions to address issues across care settings.
Indigenous Australians experience significant health disadvantages compared to non-Indigenous Australians, including higher rates of alcohol-related harm. The document proposes using Participatory Action Research (PAR) with an Indigenous community to develop an alcohol consumption intervention. PAR involves community members collaborating with researchers in an iterative process of data collection, reflection, action, and evaluation. The COM-B behavioral model will be used as a discussion tool to understand behavior and identify areas for intervention. By empowering the community and combining local knowledge with research expertise, PAR and COM-B offer a synergistic approach to reducing alcohol-related harms in an culturally appropriate way.

1) The phrase "publish or perish" refers to the pressure on academics to continually publish research in scholarly journals in order to retain employment and get promoted.
2) This pressure comes from factors like recruitment criteria, institutional rankings, promotions, and funding that reward high publication output.
3) However, the pressure to publish has led to unintended consequences like declining research quality, misconduct, and stress for academics as it detracts from teaching duties. Possible remedies include balancing quality and quantity, fostering research integrity, and assessing journals' reputability.
Consumer and Connected Health: A New Day in Health and Healthcare?Bradford Hesse
Two competing worldviews, the mechanistic and humanistic, are leading to errors in healthcare. The mechanistic view focuses on technologies while the humanistic view focuses on people. The Institute of Medicine calls for a sociotechnical system that considers both. New decision architectures are needed that incorporate patients, providers, and data to improve quality of care.
Here are some ways to protect against random error in epidemiological studies:
- Increase sample size. Larger sample sizes reduce the impact of random variation between samples and populations.
- Use random selection. Randomly selecting subjects from the target population helps ensure the sample is representative.
- Use random assignment. Randomly assigning exposures helps distribute potential confounding factors evenly between exposure groups.
- Replicate findings. Conducting multiple studies on the same question helps determine if findings are consistent or due to chance. Inconsistent findings may indicate random error.
- Consider direction and magnitude of effects. Large or dose-response effects are less likely due to chance alone.
- Use appropriate statistical tests. Tests like chi-

The document discusses the causes of obesity at length. It identifies that obesity is caused by an excess of caloric intake relative to energy expenditure. However, the causes are complex, involving genetic, environmental, economic, and social factors. The food environment has shifted to promote overeating through abundant fast food and large portions. Physical activity has decreased due to less access and more sedentary behaviors. Additional contributing factors include changes in sleep patterns, medication use, smoking rates, endocrine disruptors, ambient temperatures, demographics, and infections. Government policies may have also played a role in increasing food supplies and lowering prices of unhealthy foods. Social networks can influence weight gain trends between individuals as well. Given the health risks, interventions are urg

Epidemiological Approach to Disease and InterventionMuhammad Rafique
This document discusses the epidemiological approach to disease and intervention. It defines epidemiology as the study of how diseases are distributed in populations and the factors that influence their distribution. The main goals of epidemiology are to identify the causes and risk factors of diseases, determine the extent of diseases in communities, evaluate preventive and therapeutic measures, and provide a foundation for public health policymaking. Epidemiological studies help decrease morbidity and mortality by identifying modifiable risk factors that can be targeted through prevention efforts. The document also discusses primary and secondary prevention strategies and population-based versus high-risk approaches to disease prevention.
This document discusses the concepts of association and causation in epidemiology. It defines association as the occurrence of two variables more often than expected by chance. Causation requires that one factor leads to a change in another factor. Several types of associations are described, including direct, indirect, spurious and causal relationships. Guidelines for determining if an association is likely causal include temporal relationship, strength of association, dose-response relationship, replication of findings, biological plausibility and consideration of alternative explanations. Models of causation like the epidemiological triad, web of causation and Rothman's component causes model are also summarized.
Incidence and prevalence measures provide information about disease frequency and burden in populations. Prevalence describes the proportion of people with a disease at a point in time, while incidence refers to the number of new cases that develop over time. Both measures can be stratified by person, place, and time to gain insights into a disease's pathogenesis and development.
ABSTRACT
Weather shocks have been linked to poor economic growth, violent conflict, and democratic change at the aggregate level, yet little is known about what characterizes the individuals that become more willing to join protest movements if they experi- ence adverse shocks. I study how drought episodes affect the willingness to attend a demonstration or protest march, and the potential moderating role of individual schooling. I link exogenous high-precision data on drought events to georeferenced survey data on African respondents from multiple rounds of the Afrobarometer sur- veys. I find that ongoing drought events have a non-negligible positive impact on the willingness to participate in protests, and that the effect is considerably stronger for more severe droughts. People with more education react stronger, and there is suggestive evidence that the effect on dissatisfaction with democracy matter more than the effect on poverty. This is not consistent with the view that people that are more vulnerable to shocks, or people that suddenly become poor, will join protest movements during shocks. Instead, it points to the central role for political interest, knowledge, efficacy, and relevant civic skills. A more in-depth understanding of the role of individual resources will improve our understanding of how societies will react to future climate change and the associated increase in frequency and severity of weather shocks.

The Johns Hopkins Center for AIDS Research provides pilot grants to faculty in the Schools of Public Health, Medicine, and Nursing to enable and support HIV/AIDS research projects. Junior faculty at other JHU schools are eligible to apply if the proposal meets all other criteria. The prime purpose of these awards is to strengthen the individual’s ability to secure independent funding. We plan to award up to ten $50,000 grants per year, depending upon the number of fundable applications and availability of funds. The CFAR Scholar Grants were previously named the Faculty Development Awards.
The document discusses barriers and facilitators to policymakers using research evidence in decision making. It finds that the primary facilitator is personal contact between researchers and policymakers, while the main barrier is the lack of such contact. It also lists other factors that can encourage or discourage the use of evidence in policy, and strategies for bridging the gap between researchers and policymakers such as jointly setting agendas and facilitating interaction.

The document discusses the living conditions and implications for food security of climate migrant slum dwellers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It finds that most families have low levels of education and income, spend most of their earnings on food, and consume protein infrequently. Access to water is difficult and most do not treat water due to costs. Sanitation conditions are poor, with open defecation and dumping of waste. As a result, health outcomes are dire, with half of children suffering from diarrhea and other water-borne illnesses. The living environment thus undermines food security for climate migrants in urban slums.

Hello Dr Kyzar and Class· Does the research design answer the reSusanaFurman449
Hello Dr Kyzar and Class
· Does the research design answer the research question? Explain your rationale.
Lloyd et al., 2018 focused at establishig whether the school-based interventions for children of ages 9-10 years would help in preventive excessive weight gain after 24 months. The researchers used pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial of the Healthier Lifestyle Programme (HeLP) which is a school-based obesity prevention intervention that was performed in 32 schools found in the southwest England. This method is revealing school as the ideal location for the childhood obesity preventiuon programs due to the near-universal reach f children in the socioeconomic spectrum. It also shows the importance of the change in the diet and physical activity behaviors and their impacts on the weight status (Lloyd, et al., 2018). Were the study sample participants representative? Why or why not?
The sample calculation assumed a mean of 35 children age 9-10 years in every school and this implies that a total of 1,120 samples were used. This is a good number that can represents the problems at the 32 schools that were being targeted by the researchers.
Compare and contrast the study limitations in this study.
The findings of the study shows that the effectiveness of the school-based obesity prevention programmed is inconclusive and contradictory. The interventions used are highly heterogenous in the design and most of the studies used for the research have some methodological weaknesses for example the inadequate statistical power, greater levels of attrition, differential uptake, follow-up, and the short-lived follow-up.
· Based on this evidence summary, would you consider this systematic review as support for your selected practice problem? Explain your rationale.
Two themes were considered to be important i.e. energy in and decision making and the responsibility. It is clear that school hosts many children and can therefore be used as ideal place to deliver the population-based interventions. Even though it might not adequately intensed to affect both school and the family environment hence wieght of the children, it needs to be promoted since it helps in changing the health behaviors of the children. This is important in addressing the issue of childhood obesity sinnce it helps in promoting healthy behaviors among children (Lloyd , et al., 2018).

Factors influncing demanding senior care productÃkash Raƞga
This document summarizes a research paper on factors influencing demand for senior care products in Bangladesh. It includes an abstract, introduction, literature review, objectives of study, methodology, findings, discussion, and references. The study aimed to understand how the health and needs of older people in Bangladesh are impacted by economic status through qualitative interviews. Key findings included that most elderly have normal health issues but lack access to care due to cost and availability. Financial factors were found to be the main influence on accessing healthcare products and services. The discussion concludes that the government needs to focus on improving financial conditions for the elderly through support like pensions in order to better meet their healthcare needs.

A Study on the Mental Health Status and Cultural Issues Faced by Migrantsijtsrd
Migration is a people movement with enormous challenges for migrant women that influence their mental health. Mental health is a social issue and its determinants need to be accepted for health policy making. This paper reviews and consolidates findings from the alive literature on social determinants of immigrant women’s mental health within a socioecological framework. The research focuses on the problems faced by the migrants due to the cultural changes which effects their daily activities and health issues due to variation in weather, etc. Methodology The researcher followed descriptive research design for the study. This study is probability sampling due to the presence of universe. The sampling method adopted is simple random for the present study. The size of the sample was 60 migrants. Tools for data collection Interview schedule was used in the present study for the collection of data from the respondents. Mental health scale PMH scale lutz et al 1992. This study conclude that 60 of the respondents are moderate level of mental health, 23 of the respondents are high level of mental health and 17 of the respondents are low level of mental health.

Elizabeth Bryan is a Senior Research Analyst at IFPRI who conducts research on climate-smart agriculture, gender, and nutrition. She developed the Gender, Climate Change and Nutrition Integration (GCAN) framework to highlight relationships between climate change, gender, and nutrition. The framework aims to identify impact pathways and entry points for projects/policies by synthesizing evidence and assessing gaps. It illustrates how climate change differently impacts men and women based on factors like roles, assets, and decision-making power. This can then influence agriculture-nutrition pathways and overall household resilience in both positive and negative ways.
A STUDY ON QUALITY OF LIFE OF WOMEN IN THANJAVUR DISTRICTIAEME Publication
Women tend to be more vulnerable to exploitation of various kinds, such as sexual harassment, domestic violence and exploitation in the workplace. Women also tend to be relatively easy targets of sexual exploitation, particularly if they are economically backward. They are deprived of political, social, economic and health opportunities. This study was interested to concentrate on to identify the quality of life of women in Thanjavur district. The researcher also focused to analyze the marital status, emotional disturbance, social attitude, Abuse and violence against women and quality of life of women. The sample size for the present study is 160 they were selected through stratified disproportionate random sampling method. The study observed that majority of the women are not having knowledge about act/laws for securing equal rights and opportunities for women, along with state/national policies for women. And half of the respondents have had low level of quality of work life. Women have different requirements and problems, which need to be addressed accordingly through specific interventions in areas like education, accessibility, training and employment, social security and protection for improving the status and quality of women.
Apart from limited attempts to understand the sexual and reproductive health situations of street children in general, little is known about the overall psycho-social and health related circumstances surrounding pregnancy and child bearing practices of homeless women. The present research was at assessing the overall psycho-social circumstances surrounding Incidences of pregnancy and child bearing among homeless women in Shashemene town. A cross-sectional study design was used in which data were collected between December, 2018 and January, 2019. 163 homeless women, selected on the basis of purposive sampling procedure have participated in the study. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected using survey and depth interview methods (methodical triangulation). While quantifi able data were entered in to SPSS version. 20 for further analysis, qualitative data were transcribed, organized, and narratively presented after fi nding themes in the data. Marriage between homeless women and their men counterparts is a common feature of social interaction in the study area. This social context may justify the fact that most (93.7%) women conceived their last babies intentionally. While respondents were relatively. better off in terms of receiving prenatal care (50.3%), the experience of attending postnatal health care services has been moderately low
(40.6%). Above all, street sides and religious compounds (2.8% & 2.8%, respectively) were also among the places where babies were delivered. Attendance of prenatal care was signifi cantly associated to education (-.284, P < 0.01) and postnatal care (.590, P < 0.01) while post-natal health care seeking behavior was signifi cantly associated to the number of children a woman have (.228, P < 0.01), age of respondents (.278, P < 0.01), experiences of attending prenatal care (.590, P < 0.01) and education (-.389, P < 0.01). Patterns of psycho-social relationships prevalent among the homeless women in Shashemene town hold similarity with the pattern existing in the mainstream society. The concerned governmental and non-governmental organizations should work to enhance the
awareness of the homeless women about contraceptive methods, its advantage, and how it is relevant to their living situations.
Residents of rural villages in South India perceived negative health impacts from changes in their communities due to development and urbanization. Focus group participants believed their communities were now less healthy, more polluted, and had less physical activity and access to nutritious foods compared to the past. However, views on whether rural or urban areas were healthier overall were mixed. While some development was seen as positive, residents wanted more local services and facilities to improve health.
This study assessed the impact of municipal piped water in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh on public health. A survey of a local hospital found that approximately 40% of patients were admitted for water-borne diseases like diarrhea, typhoid, dysentery and hepatitis A. Children were the most vulnerable, comprising 70% of water-borne disease cases. Incidence rates were highest in the wet season and lowest in the dry season. However, all community respondents considered the piped water unsafe for drinking without treatment due to the risk of contamination.

This document discusses a study examining the climate change and health perspectives of adolescents living in urban slums in Surat, India. The study found that adolescents make up about 1/5 of the slum population and have relatively high levels of school attendance. Through surveys and interviews, the study assessed adolescents' knowledge of health issues like vector-borne diseases, as well as their understanding of behaviors and environmental factors that affect health. Adolescents displayed concrete knowledge of diseases but also more abstract understanding of how climate change can impact issues like migration, livelihoods, and conflicts that act as stressors affecting health. The study concludes that empowering adolescents through education can help enable them as agents of climate change resilience in their communities.
An Investigation into the Status of Riverbank (Char) Women Dwellers in Bangla...AI Publications
The study was undertaken to determine the status of rural women in terms of their social, economic and financial access to decision making and livelihood. It was conduct on January to February 2016. The data was collected by using an interview schedule from 60 women of Chinirpotol village of Saghata Upazila under Gaibandha District of Bangladesh in January to February 2017. It revealed that majority (51.67%) women can only sign but constituted economically active. It was found that they were actively participated in the household activities and their agricultural farming activities. It was also found that women played a significant role in the management of family affairs but a little participation in decision making because the male member was the head of a family and responsible for taking major decisions of the household. This study observed that a mentionable portion (88.33%) of the women was involved with non-government organizations (NGOs). The findings suggest that freedom for decision making, opportunities for active contribution and accessibility to income generating activities along with social awareness about their rights are necessary for improvement of the status of women.
Socioeconomic differentials in the use of selected reproductive health servic...Golam Kibria Madhurza
This document summarizes a study examining socioeconomic differentials in the use of reproductive health services in Bangladesh. The study finds that public sector services remain the primary source of modern contraceptives for rural, less educated, and poor women. Wealthier individuals and those in urban areas are more likely to use private services for antenatal care and delivery. A multivariate analysis shows socioeconomic status significantly impacts the likelihood of choosing different service providers. While NGO expansion has increased access, socioeconomic status does not influence choice of NGO services. The study concludes more attention is needed on reproductive health determinants to reduce maternal mortality.
This study examined factors that predict the use of sanitary napkins among adolescent girls in India using a multi-level analysis approach. The study analyzed data from a survey of 14,625 girls aged 10-19 years in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The results found that use of sanitary napkins was higher among girls with more education, from wealthier families, and whose mothers had more education. Community-level factors like average education levels in the community did not significantly impact girls' menstrual hygiene practices. The study concluded that improving access to education, especially for girls and their mothers, could help promote better menstrual hygiene.

Similar to Socio economic condition among climate migrant older women (20)
This document provides an introduction to social science. It defines social science as the branch of science devoted to studying societies and relationships between individuals within societies. Social science is described as applying scientific methods to study society in a way that is subdivided into subjects concerning specific aspects of individuals and society. Some key characteristics of social science mentioned are that it emphasizes facts, introduces new ideas, studies human relations and behavior which cannot be directly observed or controlled, and research conclusions may differ as phenomena are always changing.
Social work relationship with social science disciplineKarisma Amjad
This document discusses the relationship between social work and social science disciplines. It notes that social work draws its basic knowledge from fields like psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, and political science, which provide the theoretical foundation. The curriculum for social work education also incorporates various branches of behavioral and social sciences. Social work takes a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach by applying knowledge from these social sciences to its methods and practice areas like casework, group work, community organization, social action, administration, research, and policy and planning.
This document discusses physical disabilities, their causes, types, and treatments. There are two major categories of physical disability: musculo-skeletal, involving muscular or bone issues; and neuro-muscular, involving the nervous system. Specific conditions described include loss of limbs, cerebral palsy, polio, and spinal cord injuries. Treatments aim to improve function through rehabilitation programs like occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech therapy. The goal is to help people with physical disabilities live as independently as possible.

- Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, fatigue, and other types of discomfort throughout the body. While symptoms resemble arthritis, it affects soft tissues rather than joints.
- Common symptoms include widespread pain, headaches, fatigue, sleep issues, and fibro-fog. The cause is unknown but may involve genetics and traumatic injuries.
- Treatment options aim to relieve symptoms and improve sleep, including exercise, acupuncture, psychotherapy, and some medications. People need to work with their doctor to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Programmed theories of aging assert that the human body ages according to a natural biological timeline set by genetics. There are several theories for what specifically causes this programmed aging, including the programmed longevity theory which suggests certain genes switch on and off over time to age the body, the endocrine theory that changes in hormone levels program aging, and the immunological theory that the immune system is genetically programmed to gradually decline with age.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
2. Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable
countries facing the adverse effects of
climate change, including migration
(Sikder, 2015). Many Bengalis have
pushed to migrate out of their
communities due to climate change-
induced pressures such as more frequent
extreme weather events, rising sea
levels, soil salinity and flooding (Ismail,
2016). Environmental displacement has
already become intense in geographically
and environmentally vulnerable areas in
Bangladesh (Akter, 2009).
3. Migration to urban areas is a regular
phenomenon but climate induced
displacement forced to migrate to cities
over the recent years is a matter of
concern. In Bangladesh, the situation of
older women is much worse than older
men because of their longer life
expectancy and extreme vulnerability
due to social and economic
marginalisation (Rahman, 2010). Older
people may be physically, financially and
emotionally less or none resilient in
coping with the effects of a changing
climate than the rest of the population
(Haq et al, 2008).
4. To know the current socio economic situation
and vulnerability of those who have moved to
urban as a slam dwellers.
To make out the reason of migration for the
settlement of urban slam.
To identify their basic requirements
according to their standard of living.
To give recommendations how to make
planed migration and socio economic factors
lessen exposure to further poverty of urban
poor.
5. This study represents the relationship between
socio economic condition and climate migrant
older women of Dhaka city in Bangladesh
context. Furthermore, these are some
rationales which cannot ignore:
This study will be more useful for academic purpose
in worldwide.
This research will be helpful for taking preventive
measurement against climate migrant older women
stress.
This study will be helpful for any of the family
member to safe their older women from socio
economic stress.
The policy makers of Bangladesh may be benefited
from this study for developing policy against mental
stress among climate migrant older women.
6. Recently, a few studies have examined the linkages
between climate change, migration, and gender
using empirical evidence. Besides empirically
supporting the theories, these studies are also
methodologically relevant.
A series of studies were conducted using a monthly
panel data collected in the Chitwan Valley of Nepal
that covers a period of ten years. (Shrestha and
Bhandari 2007, Massey et al 2007, Bohra-Mishra
and Massey 2010). A common conclusion is that
Climate change-induced migration for women is
therefore closely linked with deterioration of
natural resources as they are both the primary
collectors and users.
7. In addition to environmental degradation and reduced
access to natural resources, climate variability and
natural disasters also have an impact on women’s
likelihood of migration. Using a cross-sectional survey
of North Carolina coastal residents conducted in 1999
following the disastrous Hurricane Bonnie, Bateman and
Edwards (2002) argue that women are more likely than
men to evacuate in the wake of a natural disaster. Their
findings indicate that women are more likely to
evacuate than men because of socially constructed
gender differences such as family obligations and care
giving; greater response to evacuation incentives such
as availability of a vehicle and neighbor evacuation;
higher exposure to risk due to their low economic
status and special medical needs; and higher perceived
risk due to care giving responsibilities (Bateman and
Edwards 2002 p 107).
8. In contrast however, in developing countries where
women’s mobility is highly restricted such as
Bangladesh, women are more likely to not evacuate and
die due to natural disasters (Fothergill 1996, p 41).
Therefore, even voluntary migration of women due to
climate change is highly correlated to social contexts.
Women’s ability to cope is another aspect of their
vulnerability to climate change-induced migration.
Most of the writers give importance on climate change,
women and migration problems and show how the
problems affected the lives of the people. For this
perspective, this paper study on particularly represents
(older women) living condition, its implications for life
security and focusing planned migration of displaced
people as one of the adaptation measures of climate
change can reduce vulnerability of the poor.
9. The aim and purpose of the study were explained
with the participants and then different questions
were asked to them on the basis of that they
expressed their response and comments. All the
participants were given assurance of
confidentiality before conducting interview. The
interview was conducted with privacy as much as
possible. Alongside these, the study also tries to
level best to show respect to all the participants
in the same manner and maintain local norms,
values and believes in all respect.
In the part of building conceptual framework
through the using of literature review and
secondary source of data in this research there
are some limitations in terms of ethical
consideration. I didn’t able to get permission
from the main author for using his or her book
and works as a reference but I have tried to give
proper credit by using citation of their name

The study found that 70% respondents cannot do work due
to their health condition of old age. However, 30% of older
women do work at the present time. The main expenditure

Increase awareness program to do good behaved by GO
and NGO.
28. It was difficult to access to get information
sometimes because of giving respondents own
suitable place and time.
The sample of the respondent were found non co-

lying at times.
On the other hand, only fifty respondents are not
enough for representing the actual scenario of this
study.
In this research, I did not represent the direct impact
of living condition of climate migrant older women
because of unavailable data.
Finally, they study will be more efficient to represent
various aspect of community if I get enough time and
money.
29. To create healthy environment including infrastructure and
sanitation facilities.
Decentralization of slum settlements to nearby cities can be
considered.
Internal migration within Bangladesh also requires more
attention, with many migrants facing challenges due to the lack
of services, resources and employment opportunities.
Strategies that assist migrants, including education programmes,
training and affordable accommodation will be required for an
effective adaptation plan.
Sufferings of such people considering recent and future urban
hazards need to be integrated during policy preparation.
To relocate to safer areas for climate affected people.
Supportive Adaptation measure of climate change help to make
planned migration of climate induce displacement.
30. By increasing existing old age allowance.
GO and NGOs should take infrastructure development and
income generating activities for older women in the climate
affected areas.
Local administration should take strong initiatives to avoid
the events of torturing women and other unexpected events
