This study examines the settlement experiences of Bangladeshi women living in Australia by focusing on the facilitators of and barriers to successful settlement. It also explores how different settlement indicators vary across gender. Using both quantitative and qualitative data collected from 210 Bangladeshi migrants living in three states of Australia and through 52 semi structured interviews respectively, this study reveals that migration brings comfort, freedom and power for many women on the one hand, while on the other, reduced economic opportunities are also common. Aside from non-recognition of qualifications, responsibility towards young children and domestic duties is associated with downward mobility of women migrants. Unlike common literature the research argues that low qualified women may attain a better satisfaction with life compared with highly educated women.
