rural exodus
Rural exodus refers to the migration of people from rural areas to urban centers. This often occurs due to a lack of job opportunities, limited access to education and healthcare, and the desire for a better quality of life. As individuals and families move to cities in search of work and improved living conditions, rural communities can experience population decline, leading to economic and social changes in both the originating and destination areas. This trend has significant implications for development, infrastructure, and resource allocation in both urban and rural environments.
