STEP 5: ANALYSIS SYNTHESIS OF DATA
DUE TO LAND AND HOUSING PROBLEMS AND THE INFORMAL ECONOMY FOR MIGRANTS
WITH LOW HUMAN CAPITAL ,THESE MIGRANT COMMUNITIES TEND TO BE BASED (AND
THEREFORE EXPAND)IN URBAN SLUMS WITH NEGATIVE EFFECTS BOTH ON URBAN POVERTY
AND ON THE EXPERIENCES AND LIVING CONDITIONS OF MIGRANTS.
RURAL TO URBAN MIGRATION IS A PHENOMENON THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR
CENTURIES AS PEOPLE SEEK BETTER OPPORTUNITIES AND A HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING IN
URBAN AREAS .THIS MIGRATION IS DRIVEN BY VARIOUS FACTORS SUCH AS ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES ,BETTER ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE AND IMPROVED
INFRASTRUCTURE IN URBAN AREAS .HOW EVER,IT ALSO POSES CHALLENGES SUCH AS OVER
CROWDING ,STRAIN ON RESOURSCES AND SOCIAL ISSUES.
ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS TO RURAL URBAN MIGRATION IS YOUR PROMISE OF BETTER
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNIES IN URBAN AREAS .CITIES OFFER A WIDER RANGE OF JOB
OPPORTUNITIES IN VARIOUS SECTORS SUCH AS MANUFACTURING ,SERVICES AND
TECHNOLOGY.THIS ATTRACTS PEOPLE FROM RURAL AREAS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR BTTER
PAYING JOBS AND A CHANCE TO IMPROVE THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING.ADDITIONALLY,URBAN
AREAS TEND TO HAVE HIGHER WAGES AND BETTER ACCESS TO CREDIT AND FINANCIAL
SERVICES,MAKING IT EASIER FOR MIGRANTS TO START BUSINESSES OR INVEST IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING.
ANOTHER FACTOR DRIVING RURAL TO URBAN MIGRATION IS THE BETTER ACCESS TO
EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE IN URBAN AREAS.CITIES TYPICALLY AVE MORE
SCHOOLS,COLLEGES,AND UNIVERSITIES OFFERING A WIDER RANGE OF COURSES AND
PROGRAMS.THIS ATTRACTS STUDENTS AND YOUNG PROFESSIONALS FROM RURAL AREAS
WHO ARE LOOKING TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION AND IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS .
SIMILARILY ,URBAN AREAS TEND TO HAVE BETTER HEALTHCARE AND FACILITIES AND
SERVICES ,MAKING IT EASIER FOR MIGRANTS TO ACCESS QUALITY HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL
TREATMENT .
IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURES IN URBAN AREAS IS ALSO A MAJOR PULL FACTOR FOR RURAL
MIGRANTS .CITIES TYPICALLY HAVE BETTER TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS,COMMUNICATION
SYSTEM AND UTILITIES SUCH AS ELECTRICTY AND WATER SUPPLY .THIS MAKES URBAN LIVING
MORE CONVENIENT AND COMFORTABLE COMPARED TO RURAL AREAS WHERE
INFRATRUCTURE MAY BE LACKING OR UNRELYABLE .ADDITIONALLY ,URBAN AREAS TEND TO
HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO EMINITIES SUCH AS SHOPPING MALLS ,RESTURANT AND
INTERTAINMENT VENUES ,PROVIDING A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MIGRANTS .
