Bangladesh is a lower-middle-income country in South Asia where traditional
fishermen, herein, Jaladas are at risk of chronic poverty. This study was conducted in
two Jaladas villages to identify the socio-economic transformations caused by the
inflows of capitals from different actors and the roles of various market functionaries,
traditional social institutions, and power relations. Moreover, it aims to examine the
coping strategies; and providing policy recommendations for their inclusion and wellbeing.
This study adopted the qualitative research design, specifically the Key Informant
Interview (KII), Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and household level case studies. A
random survey of 100 households was conducted. The findings revealed that NGO-led
interventions increase awareness, leadership development, education, access to health and
sanitation facilities, and provide alternative employment skills to improve the quality of
life in one of the villages studied. In the meantime, the increase numbers of commercial
entrepreneurs have led higher over-exploitation of fisheries resources where powerful
market functionaries control the fish marketing structure. At the same time, social
bondage, kinship, and roles of traditional institutions become dysfunctional due to the
entrance of multiple capitals. This situation creates critical conditions reducing the
fishermen’s real income and assets, pushing their way from their inherited occupation.
Jaladas communities cope with individual and collective initiatives.Based on this
situation, this study urges state and global donor agencies to take special and urgent attention to the socio-economic and political empowerment of the Jaladas.
Correspondingly, there is a need for a management plan for marginalized artisanal
fishers, formation of specialized banks, allowing direct cash transfer during fishing ban,
and ensuring the proper execution legal provisions for fishing labors in big boats, and
policy revision in favor of disadvantaged fishermen. |
