Question

Give three reasons for the large-scale migration from rural to urban areas.

Answer 1

Three reasons for large-scale migration are:

1. 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.
2. Education: rural areas lack educational facilities, especially higher education so rural people have to migrate to the urban centres for this purpose. Many of them settle down in the cities for earning their livelihood.
3. 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.
