Question
Compare the following and give example:
Migration and slums
Solution
As there is urbanization, cities grow. People migrate to these cities for jobs, education, etc. Many of them are not as skilled as required by the factories in cities hence they take up small odd jobs for survival. They cannot afford to stay in expensive apartments of these cities. Apart from this, cities have limited spaces which forces them to stay in slums. e.g. Slums in Dharavi (Mumbai city).
