Question
Answer the following question.
Give three reasons for the large-scale migration from rural to urban areas.
Solution
Three reasons for largescale migration are:
- Employment – people migrate in large numbers from rural to urban areas as the urban areas provide a vast scope of employment in industries, trade, transport, and other services.
- Education – rural areas lack educational facilities especially higher education so rural people have to migrate to the urban centers for this purpose. Many of them settle down in the cities for earning their livelihood.
- Marriage – every girl has to move to her in-law's place of residence once married. A large number of girls move to the cities as well.
