Rural Urban Migration Questions
The role of gender in rural-urban migration refers to the ways in which gender influences the patterns, experiences, and outcomes of migration from rural to urban areas. Gender plays a significant role in shaping the decision to migrate, the opportunities available in urban areas, and the challenges faced by migrants. It affects both men and women differently, as they often have distinct reasons for migrating and encounter varying social, economic, and cultural dynamics in urban settings. Gender norms and expectations also influence the division of labor, access to resources, and power dynamics within migrant communities. Therefore, understanding the role of gender is crucial for comprehending the complexities of rural-urban migration and designing effective policies and interventions.
