The paper explores the factors that cause female labour migration to the Gulf states from Bangladesh. Grounded on Amartya Sen’s concept of well-being in terms of capability and Marta Nussbaum’s further interpretation on that, the paper focuses on the cases of Bangladeshi returned and intended female domestic workers and analyses the factors influencing the decision of transnational labour migration. The study follows a qualitative method including in-depth semi-structured interviews, coupled with some focus group discussions, participant observation, and secondary data analysis. The paper unveils different external and internal factors influencing women’s decision on migration. Global demand for female domestic workers and caregivers is rising in many nations. In response to that, many countries including Bangladesh have relaxed restrictions on women’s transnational labour migration and facilitate their involvement in the global care industry. Furthermore, socio-economic, and personal drivers play a role for migrating to the Gulf states.
