 A key milestone of this project has been Shushilan Organization’s effective execution of skills development training at the Rohingya Camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. We are thrilled by this progress, as the handmade products crafted by participants are now available in local markets, enhancing their financial independence.

Asad Islam’s Major Research and Publications

Genetic distance, immigrants’ identity, and labor market outcomes The relationship between immigrants’ ethnic identity and their labor market performance is a subject of strong policy and academic debate. While numerous empirical studies indicate that culture and identity shape labor market outcomes, causal interpretations remain elusive due to endogeneity: labor market performance and identity attitudes are often mutually influential. In this study, Asadul Islam and Paul A. Raschky propose an innovative solution: using genetic distance between an immigrant’s home and host country as an instrumental variable for ethnic identity, thereby isolating the exogenous component that captures deep-rooted cultural differences. Methodology The study utilizes data from Canada’s Equality, Security, and Community (ESC) Survey, rich in variables related to immigrant identity, ancestry, labor market performance, and demographic controls. Immigrants’ identity is measured both as the stated importance o...

Inspired by Asad Islam: Fishermen’s competitiveness and labour market performance: Evidence from shrimpers in Bangladesh

Image
Competitiveness is a key driver of economic performance in labor markets, particularly within informal sectors that often escape the focus of mainstream policy. The shrimp fishery in Bangladesh is a prototypical example—an industry reliant on individual initiative and competitive engagement for access to opportunities and mobility. Professor Asad Islam’s research, “Fishermen’s competitiveness and labour market performance: Evidence from shrimpers in Bangladesh,” offers empirical insights into the role of competitiveness among fishermen, providing a nuanced understanding of labor market dynamics in developing economies. Research Objective and Scope The study aims to investigate how the willingness to compete among shrimp fishermen influences their success in labor market allocation and broader socioeconomic outcomes. Specifically, it addresses whether competitive preferences—often overlooked in labor economics—are associated with tangible improvements in income, employment status, and u...
