There has been a constant decrease in the rural population. Explain.

Answer»
  • In 1901, rural population was 21.2 crores (89.1%) which increased to 83.02 crores (68%) in 2011. In terms of number, the rural population has increased but while looking at the percentage we can see that there is a fall in rural population. Majority of this decrease is due to migration of rural people into cities.
  • Lack of employment opportunities and the existence of widespread disguised unemployment and under employment are among the chief reasons for decrease in rural population.
  • There are large scale employment opportunities in urban areas which force rural population to migrate to urban areas.
