Question

Give geographical reasons:

Rural to urban migration is increasing.

Answer 1

1. Farming, fishing, and other primary economic activities employ the majority of people in rural areas. The incomes of those involved in primary economic activities are comparatively low and erratic.
2. However, there are a lot of job prospects in cities because of the growth of the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary sectors.
3. Other pull factors that draw individuals from rural areas to metropolitan areas include the availability of recreational, health, and educational amenities. Therefore, rural to urban migration is increasing.
