Rural Urban Migration: Their Consequence

Shrimant and A.G. Khan

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Urban migration is one of the most prevalent types of human movement. The study of the process of rural to urban migration and its biological effects is important for four reasons_ First, it entails movement into a habill: and an ecological niche—the city—that is evolutionally ne'e' for our species. Secondly, it is the most common type migration that has occurred in all periods of recorded history. Thirdly. It is occurring more rapidly today than ever before, especially in the least developed flattens of the world. Fourthly, we understand relatively little .id-out the long-term effects of this migration on human biology.
