India-People and Economy: Migration Types, Causes and Consequences

Question:

Which of the following statements is/are correct in the Indian context?

Options:

About 67 per cent of females move out from their parental houses following their marriage.

Male migration on account of marriage is only 4 per cent in the country

Both 1 and 2

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Work and employment have remained the main cause for male migration (26 per cent) while it is only 2.3 per cent for the females. Contrary to this, about 67 per cent of females move out from their parental houses following their marriage. This is the most important cause in the rural areas of India except in Meghalaya where reverse is the case.
