The climate change impact on international migration flows : An abductive case study on how climate change can affect migration flow from Bangladesh to Sweden

Sammanfattning: The question if climate change affects the international migration flow from Bangladesh to Sweden has been investigated. Through the usage of the conceptual framework of Black et al (2011), the theory of migration system theory, and the concept of network migration have been presented in an abductive qualitative case study. Semi-structured interviews have been used upon a sample of ten volunteer participants and an in-depth literature review has been done to build credibility towards the findings of this thesis. The data collected provides evidence that there is an indication of climate change affecting the international migration flow, however, due to the scope of this research, there cannot be a clear answer and further research is needed.
