This briefing paper analyses Bangladesh as an aid recipient. It also looks at other financial flows such as remittances, as well as country statistics and indicators such as multidimensional poverty.
DownloadBangladesh is the ninth largest country in the world by population (164.4 million people) and is one of the most densely populated. Almost half of its 164.4 million people live on less than US$1.25 a day (World Bank, 2005) and 80% on less than US$2.00 a day (DFID, 2011). The size and density of the population, together with regular extreme weather events, such as floods and cyclones, make the country extremely vulnerable to natural hazards becoming natural disasters.
