Urbanization leads to urban unemployment. Explain.

Answer»

A majority of Indian population lives in rural areas. So, the rate of migration toward urban areas is very high.

  • After the economic reforms of 1991, India adopted several policies which focused on boosting the industrial and service sector. As a result, people from rural areas migrated to urban areas for employment in these sectors.
  • On the other hand, the urban areas are unable to raise and provide job opportunities to all who migrate. This at times creates competition as there are more takers for a given work opportunity. This leads to urban unemployment.
