Description
Both fatherhood (the social and symbolic status accorded to fathers) and fathering (the activities fathers engage in and carry out in the care of their children) have largely been formally conceptualized through a Western lens. Theories, research, and program models focused on fathers' contributions to children's well-being have drawn upon traditional Euro-western cultural values, family formations, and goals for children's development. For several reasons, these perspectives are unlikely to be useful in understanding fatherhood and fathering in Bangladesh or other South Asian contexts. Bangladesh is one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the world (United Nations Development Programme [UNDP], 2000). By most measures, it can be said that about half of Bangladeshi households live in poverty; development has been slow and uneven in Bangladesh. As cultural and religious values and norms are paramount, many families, especially those in rural areas, live much as they have for generations. Extended families and village-level household groupings are a means of survival in a country that has been politically unstable, lacks a social security system, and is repeatedly overwhelmed by natural disasters.
