Compare the following and give examples:Migration and slums

Answer»
  • The increase in the number of migratory people causes an increase in the slums. 
  • Generally migration from rural to urban areas takes place in search of job opportunities, which are hard to find. 
  • The housing facilities do not increase in the same proportion as the population, so the poor migrants can not afford the housing in the cities.
  • This encourages the migrants to build illegal temporary and semi-structured houses known as slums, in open spaces. e.g. Slums in Dharavi (Mumbai city)
