Background of Bangladesh Bangladesh is a very weak and undeveloped country and has some of the worst health and nutrition data. Bangladesh is a parliamentary democracy with 6 divisions and 64 local districts. Bangladesh used to be a part of Pakistan before the turmoil in Pakistan caused Bangladesh to become its own independent country in the 1970s. Much of the nutrition, education and economy is damaged because of the swell in population growth and political issues. in 2000 the World Health Organization approximated 35 to 77 percent of the water in Bangladesh contains arsenic. However, the country has improved and education, the economy and nutrition baselines have risen closer to expected outcomes. Who were the immigrants? Where did they originally live before they came to Canada? What …show more content…

Labelled as enemy aliens due to Canada’s loyalties in the Second World War, Italian Canadians are amid some of the primitive Europeans to have visited and settled in Canada. In this paper, I will uncover the history of immigration of Italians to Canada through examining three large mass immigration periods; 1870-1914, 1920-1930, and 1950-1970. In addition, I will touch upon the diverse social, political, and economic reasons for these record number mass immigrations. The paper will also examine the hardships and challenges new semi-skilled Italian immigrants faced when they entered the new country such as language barriers and job opportunities. As well, the paper will dive into important Canadian legislation that greatly affected immigration
My whole family is born in Punjab. My mom was the first one to come to Canada in my family. She was only 19 when she came. She came to a family friend’s house. It was hard for her to adjust to Canada. The water, food, language, attire, and community were way different from how India was. Putting that all aside, she had to start from scratch. She had to go look for a job, for rent and food. She first came to a friend’s house in Vancouver. Her first job was at a cannery which had a pay that was decent. After she started working in a greenhouse, which had a good pay. Later after a year, she moved to a basement in Abbotsford with her sister. She had moved to Abbotsford because people said it was an affordable and cheaper city to live in. She had

Bangladesh emerged as an independent nation in December 1971. It is in the middle of a deltaic plain, with a total land mass of 147,570 sq.km. The country has a total population of 152.5 million (Census, 2012) and a life expectancy at birth of 66.7 years. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world
Just as many immigrants are forced to quit their language training early due to economic circumstances, many are also forced to abandon their country of origin careers due to the economic hardship caused by the credential evaluation process. As Guo (2013) noted, “having had their education, work experience, knowledge of English and/or French, and other abilities assessed in the application process, skilled immigrants presumably arrive in Canada well-prepared to successfully establish themselves as permanent residents of Canada” (p. 34). Therefore, new immigrants expect to have their skills put to use in Canada. However, “a large number of newly arrived doctors, engineers, lawyers, managers, and teachers end up unemployed or underemployed, driving taxis or delivering pizzas in Canadian cities” (Subedi and Rosengberg, 2016, p. 58). One of the first things immigrants learn through the British Columbia Newcomers’ Guide (2017) is that, in addition to being required to upgrade their English skills to find employment, they have to have their credentials assessed; for those who have non-regulated credentials, it could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to assess their credentials; if they have credentials in a regulated field, the assessment may cost several thousand dollars and the process could be even longer (p. 78-79).
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated as well as the eighth largest country in the world with a total population of 168, 957, 745 and it encompasses an area of 1, 47, 570 square kilometers (CIA World Fact Book, 2016). Bangladesh economy is not big enough to support such a vast population and high incidence of poverty is the ultimate result. According to the household income and expenditure survey, 17.6 percent (approximately 25 million) of the population were found to be under the poverty line (HIES, 2010). In this context, poverty is still a vital concern and challenge for Bangladesh.
Understanding the factors that causes Bangladesh to be a poor country is vital. The main cause is overpopulation. Bangladesh is considered a small country when compared to it 's population of more than 150 million people. Therefore, the resources cannot be distributed equally. Bangladesh is also a country that is prone to natural disasters such as floods. Many of the rural poor live in areas that are exposed to extreme annual flooding which will lead to devastating damage to their crops, homes and livelihoods. The victims often resort to moneylenders, which doesn
Bangladesh has a very high rate of population growth, which results in a higher population density, and in many cases can lead to, an increase in stress on water and natural resources, decrease food sequirity, slower development, and less land for agricuture. For a country which is heavily reliant on its agriculture, this becomes an issue. All these effects will eventually lead to hunger within the nation. This is due to more people relying on the same natural resources, however there is not enough to suit the basic needs of everyone. Due to a high population density, the land for farming is put under stress and thus, food production, decreases while the number of people needing food increases. Many people in bangladesh are forced to live on, and grow crops on areas
The South-East Asian country of Bangladesh has a total population of about 160,996,000 (Bangladesh). When Bangladesh is compared with India, it is evident that considerable progress is being made to improve the health of the people of Bangladesh. Nevertheless, there remain many areas of concern. Some of these concerns are the countries health development and provisions for healthcare delivery.
Bangladesh is a country of complex paradoxes; although it has made huge strides in economic growth, poverty reduction and development, the political scene remains volatile. In fact, several historical, social, and conditions and contextual factors remain at play, affecting the democratization process. Drawing upon a procedural definition of democracy, free, fair, and competitive elections and the guarantee of civil rights and civil liberties for the citizenry must exist in order to promote democratization in Bangladesh. Democratization, according to Canadian International Development Agency’s (CIDA) definition, refers to the process of strengthening popular participation, building democratic institutions and practices, and deepening societal democratic values. Despite having the framework of a parliamentary democracy and Western democratic institutions, there has been a downward trend in democratization in Bangladesh. Behind the façade of democracy, instability, weak political institutions, patrimonial politics, patronage, and political polarization exist. In this case, Bangladesh can be potentially classified as an illiberal democracy, or even an electoral autocracy. As such, the country still faces considerable obstacles; the prevention of a reverse wave back to authoritarianism, and the encouragement towards further democratization and democratic consolidation, require further assistance and new approaches in order to address these challenges.

Since its independence, Bangladesh has been a country that has gone through many ups and down. Over the years their economy, education, and other social factors have endured a lot. As, a least developed country, corruption resides heavily in every factor in Bangladesh. Corrupt politics has hindered the countries development in many sectors.
Corruption is found everywhere in the world, but the less developed nations are found to be more corrupt. In Asia, Bangladesh is one of the most corrupt nations. Ever since the independence of this South Asian nation it has been fraught with instability and corruption. As new nation Bangladesh has to face various political and economic issues. Patronage networks, military coups and civil violence are the few issues that ruin the political system of this nation. Much of the political instability has lead to challenges in its economic development. Bangladesh lags behind in natural resources and capital thus affecting the development of the nation. Natural causes such as floods and cyclones are significant to why Bangladesh struggle to maintain economic growth. Bangladesh has to confront many problems in its environment and overpopulation. Industrialization leads to increase in pollution production leading to adverse effects in the environment. Bangladesh is strongly unstable and a corrupt nation because of its failing economy, political instability, and social problems.
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics estimates population of Bangladesh as of 1 July 2011 to be 150.6 million. With annual population growth rate of 1.37% (BBS 2011), the estimated mid-year population of 2014 should be 156.06 million. Bangladesh is one of the most densely-populated countries in the world, with 1,203 people living per square km (in land area), and approximately 26% of the population lives in the urban area. The average household-size is 4.5, and life-expectancy at birth for both sexes is 70 years (WB 2012). Despite a declining trend, the agrarian sector dominates the country’s economy, accounting for majority of the rural labor force. The principal industries of the country include readymade garments, textiles, chemical fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, tea-processing, sugar, and leather goods. The principal minerals include natural gas, coal, white clay, and glass-sand. Bangladesh has been utilizing a mixed system of public and private development, which operates on free-market principles. The GDP growth rate is 6% (World Bank 2013). The per-capita income is estimated for the fiscal year 2013-2014 at US$1,115 taking the fiscal 2005-2006 as the base year (BBS 2014).
