With its focus on the family, the study contributes to intersectional research about immigrant entrepreneurs that considers the effects of gender and social class, as well as, ethnicity. Drawing on the narratives of Bangladeshi women who migrated to Toronto as spouses of skilled male immigrants, the research examines their decisions to start and operate home-based and non-home-based businesses. Though similar employment barriers faced many Bangladeshi couples in Toronto, gender roles and family resources influenced the women's strategies to combat economic marginalisation and loss of middle-class status. The home-based businesses operated by Bangladeshi women required little financial capital and offered services and goods produced with domestic resources while the non-home-based businesses operated by Bangladeshi women often complemented existing family enterprises. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
