Internal migration refers to movement within a country, often for job opportunities or better quality of life. External migration involves movement across international borders, often for economic reasons or to escape conflict or persecution. Causes of migration can include economic opportunities, political instability, conflict, environmental factors, and family reunification. Migration can occur in various directions, including rural to urban, urban to rural, urban to urban, international, and within a country's regions.
Some measures to reduce rural-urban migration include improving infrastructure and basic services in rural areas, promoting agricultural development and job opportunities in rural areas, providing skill training and entrepreneurship programs for rural youth, and implementing policies that support rural development and local industries. By addressing the root causes of migration, such as lack of opportunities and services in rural areas, governments can help reduce the pressure on urban areas and promote balanced regional development.
