Note 1: This question is taken from the pre-rationalised NCERT book. The latest edition (2026-27) does not have this part. An extract of the pre-rationalised NCERT book is given below for the benefit of students.
Note 2: Two bar charts of migration streams in an older book show that more women than men move from one village to another. Compare the male and female bars in every such chart.
Pre-rationalised NCERT: “The distribution of male and female migrants in different streams of intra-state and inter-state migration is presented in Fig. 2.1 a and 2.1 b. It is clearly evident that females predominate the streams of short distance rural to rural migration in both types of migration.”
