Students in urban areas prefer going for higher studies

All of the above

Correct Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: All of the above

Explanation:

  • Limited resources in rural areas lead to lower income-earning opportunities, pushing more people, including students, to join the workforce to contribute to the household income.
  • Students in rural areas often drop out of school to work and support their families, increasing the worker-population ratio.
  • Students in urban areas are more likely to pursue higher education, which delays their entry into the workforce, resulting in a lower worker-population ratio in urban areas compared to rural areas.
