This study attempts to assess the impact of international migration on the socio-economic status of rural households in the northeastern part of Bangladesh. The data has been collected from the Sylhet, Moulvibazar, and Habiganj districts. This study used a descriptive research design and found that international migration positively contributes to the development of rural households in Bangladesh. Their socio-economic indicators, such as household income, expenditure, land possession, nonproductive assets, housing status, water and sanitation facilities, and healthcare facilities, are improved in comparison to the same factors before migration. There is the impact of traditional cultural components such as folksong and folk rhyme on international migration. In other words, international migration contributes to the improvement of rural households’ socio-economic status in Bangladesh
