Analyse the economic factors affecting the distribution of population in the world.

दीर्घउत्तर

उत्तर

The effects of economic factors on the distribution of the world population are as follows:

  • Minerals: Areas rich in minerals attract industries. Mining and allied activities generate employment. Skilled and semi-skilled workers move to these areas, making them densely populated. Eg. Katanga Zambia copper belt in Africa.
  • Industrialization: Industrial belts provide job opportunities and attract large numbers of people. These include factory workers, transport operators, shopkeepers, doctors and other professionals.
    Eg: The Kobe - Osaka industrial region of Japan.
  • Urbanization: Better employment opportunities, educational and medical facilities, and better means of transport and communication attract people to cities. It leads to rural-urban migration, and hence cities grow in size.
    E.g. prominent, many people move to cities like Delhi, Mumbai, etc., making them densely populated.
