Following a review of existing literature
on the subject, primary research was carried out in
Dhaka, a major urban centre attracting child migrants,
who were contacted at bus, launch and train terminals,
in places of their work and in their residences in the
slums. Using a combination of formal and informal techniques,
iInterviews were conducted with 105 children who had
migrated from their homes by themselves, and with 50
parents whose children had migrated independently of
their immediate families. Fifteen further in-depth case
studies of child migrants were also undertaken. |
