The movement of people from one place to another place is know as Migration.
Causes of Migration : Migration is caused by a variety of factors including economic, social and political factors.
Some of them are briefly discussed below.
- Marriage : Every girl has to migrate to her husband’* place after marriage, thus the entire female population of India has to migrate over short or long distance.
- Employment : The agricultural base of rural areas does not provide employment to all the people living here. In contrast, urban areas provide vast scope for employment in industries, trade, transport & services. Hence people like to migrate towards the urban areas.
- Education : Educational facilities are very low in the rural areas especially those of higher education and rural people have to migrate to the urban centers for this purpose.
- Lack of security : Large number of people have migrated out of Jammu and Kashmir and Assam during the last few years due to ***** conditions there. In this situation, people would like to migrate towards well secure areas.
