Abstract

This study examines the impact of intergenerational learning and intellectual capital on women's voluntary decisions to remain in place despite environmental risks. By investigating how women experience the decision to stay through intergenerational knowledge transfer, we analyze the adaptability of communities facing climate-driven livelihood challenges and the intricate socio-ecological factors that tie individuals to their homes. Through life-story interviews with 70 women from 25 households in five environmental hazard-prone sites in Bangladesh, the study reveals nuanced patterns of traditional gender roles that both support and limit women's autonomy in making mobility choices. Although mobility decisions vary across site and scale, systemic issues such as arranged child marriage, financial instability, (traditional) home-bound duties, male authority over mobility decisions, and gendered expectations consistently emerged as barriers to women's (non-)migration, even when they aspired to leave. Thus, this research offers insights into gendered (non-)migration and its intergenerationality, which is inevitable in developing sustainable adaptation pathways.

妇女环境不迁移的代际基础。

本研究考察了代际学习和智力资本对妇女不顾环境风险自愿留在原地的决定的影响。通过调查女性如何通过代际知识转移做出留下来的决定，我们分析了社区面对气候驱动的生计挑战的适应性，以及将个人与家园联系在一起的复杂的社会生态因素。通过对孟加拉国五个环境灾害易发地区25个家庭的70名妇女的生活故事采访，该研究揭示了传统性别角色的微妙模式，这些模式既支持也限制了妇女在出行选择方面的自主权。尽管流动决定因地点和规模而异，但诸如包办童婚、金融不稳定、（传统的）家庭责任、男性对流动决定的权威以及性别期望等系统性问题始终成为妇女（非）迁移的障碍，即使她们渴望离开。因此，本研究提供了对性别（非）移民及其代际性的见解，这在发展可持续的适应途径中是不可避免的。补充信息：在线版本包含补充资料，提供地址为10.1007/s11111-025-00475-w。
