What is the cause of people's migration from rural to urban societies?
In most cases it’s the development of the region and distances…The rural area would generally have a lower concentration of population and less diversity (you might - depending on the size - have a medical centre, dental care, educational providers, entertainment providers, food vendors, informational infrastructure…). And again, depending on the size and character of the rural area they might be specific (high school for mechanics and farming… but no art classes, mining, engineering, IT…), two restaurants with local quisine (but no place that offers foreign food - chinese, thai, mexican, indian, italian… restaurant), community theatre - but no opera house…Therefore the rural society offers only a small amount of supporting jobs, which are connected to the offer the society has.So, if you want to become (wild example) a conductor at the opera, you cannot become one in that rural society. If you want to set up an online business, you cannot do that if the connections are not good enough, if you want to set up a vet station for pets, you cannot do that, if people only need vets for large farm animals… so your choices are limited.Also, once you move out of the rural area for studies, and start looking for job opportuinites in urban centres, there’s a better chance… so unless a steady lifestile awaits you back in the rural area (family farm that can support you and your own family that you will set up) you are not really looking forward to going back.
Why did people urbanize?
Economic Causes Workers move to urban centers to find better economic opportunities. The Industrial Revolution and the subsequent shift from agricultural jobs to factory jobs made it profitable for companies to locate their factories in large cities with plenty of local workers. There often is a severe lack of resources in rural areas, such as medical technology, which further drives people to the cities. In developing countries, such as those in Africa, natural population increases and migration have been big factors in urbanization. People are driven out of rural poverty and into urban areas as they are less able to care for their growing families; cities offer employment, food, shelter and education.
