ABSTRACT

Even though half of the population of Bangladesh is women, most of them are not working as paid employee or working as business owner. The main reason is that most of them are in rural area and unable to get proper education. This paper aims to develop a model that can assist different government organizations to assist those unemployed rural women to get involved in fisheries industries. This will help them to get proper information to get some income from whatever resources they have nearby for generate income from aquaculture.
