Social Formation in Dhaka

摘要

Social Formation in Dhaka, 1985-2005 is the 2005 follow-up of a 1985 general household survey conducted in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh with an estimated 15 million inhabitants today. Accordingly, the book offers insights into how Dhaka's society changed between 1985 and 2005 concerning their socio-economic background, the relations between urban and rural family members, the conditions of housing, income and expenditure, property ownership, leisure activities and 'opinions' (on family planning, problems of Dhaka and the economic system). Statistical data sets are at the heart of this analysis, supplemented by case studies of additional population groups and special urban areas.
