In India which section of the population dominates the rural-urban migration? |
Males Females Children None of the above |
Males |
In developing countries, poor, semi-illiterate and unskilled like Ramesh migrating from rural areas frequently end up performing menial jobs at low wages in the informal sector in urban areas. Since wages are very low to support the family at the place of destination, the spouses are left behind in rural areas to look after children and elderly people. Thus, the rural-urban migration stream is dominated by the males. |
