abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a better understanding
|
|
|
|
of the dynamics of institutional practices, socio-economic status and
|
|
|
|
vulnerability of shrimp fry catchers in the south-west region of
|
|
|
|
Bangladesh.
|
|
|
|
Design/methodology/approach This study draws on primary research
|
|
|
|
conducted through face-to-face interviews with women fry collectors in
|
|
|
|
the south-west region of Bangladesh. This study attempts to identify the
|
|
|
|
nature and extent of the impact of institutional practices on the women
|
|
|
|
engaged in catching fry regarding their positioning within the
|
|
|
|
institutional framework.
|
|
|
|
Findings In the coastal region of Bangladesh, the shrimp sector has
|
|
|
|
opened up economic opportunities for women in terms of access to income
|
|
|
|
and employment. However, women have to make a trade-off between
|
|
|
|
employment gain in terms of wage and health hazards caused due to poor
|
|
|
|
working conditions. The findings of the study indicate that shrimp fry
|
|
|
|
catching, complemented by other sources of income, can only help women
|
|
|
|
to survive. The study also finds that the vulnerability of the fry
|
|
|
|
collectors is the end result of mutually interacting institutional
|
|
|
|
practices under different institutional domains. Accordingly,
|
|
|
|
recommendations are made with a view to effectively utilizing social
|
|
|
|
capital at the community level, which will be particularly helpful in
|
|
|
|
raising fry catchers'' voice in the local political arena and
|
|
|
|
strengthening their position in the marketplace. Due to the higher
|
|
|
|
preferences of buyers towards wild fry and the participation of a huge
|
|
|
|
number of people in fry collecting, this study suggests rethinking
|
|
|
|
government intervention in this regard.
|
|
|
|
Originality/value This is original research focusing on the underlying
|
|
|
|
structural and institutional factors behind the marginalization and
|
|
|
|
vulnerability of women and devising policies that will enable
|
|
|
|
modification of the factors that restrain women.'
