| Annotation | The Bangladeshi Migrants Pilot Study establishes the feasibility of applying methods used to study older people's informal support networks, specifically the Wenger typology of support networks. The study sample consists of 98 Bangladeshi over 55s living in Tower Hamlets, and 51 living Sylhet, Bangladesh. The paper provides an ethnohistory of Bangladeshi immigration to the UK, a comparison of support networks in Tower Hamlets and Sylhet, and a comparison of Bangladeshi's support networks with urban and rural dwellers in the UK. The Practitioners Assessment of Network Typology (PANT) algorithm produces support network types in 99% of cases, and demonstrates that the instrument is applicable to different cultures. There is little difference between the support networks of Bangladeshis in Sylhet compared with London, but there are significant differences between support networks of the Bangladeshi samples and the rural and urban UK samples.
