| Annotation | Findings are presented from the first phase of a Nuffield Foundation supported study - "Bangladeshi women: migration and identity" - examining the lives of Bangladeshi women living in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The focus is on women in the 35-55 age group who migrated to Britain from Bangladesh from the late 1970s onwards. This working paper provides background to the research, and outlines findings from pilot interviews and focus groups on the following themes: gender and the impact of transnational migration; women and migration; roles and responsibilities; personal relationships and transnational ties; and changing identities.
