Rural Urban Migration Questions
The role of agriculture in rural-urban migration is significant. Agriculture is often the primary source of income and livelihood for rural communities. However, due to various factors such as limited land availability, low productivity, and lack of modernization, many rural farmers face challenges in sustaining their livelihoods solely through agriculture. As a result, they are compelled to migrate to urban areas in search of better economic opportunities and improved living conditions. The allure of urban areas lies in the availability of diverse job opportunities, higher wages, access to education, healthcare, and other amenities. Therefore, agriculture's limited potential to provide sustainable livelihoods acts as a push factor for rural residents to migrate to urban areas.
