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

Question:

People in India migrate from one place to another. Which of the following is a dominant cause for migration of women?

Options:

Marriage

Search of Job

Both 1 and 2

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Marriage

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.
