	Rural-urban migration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The movement of people from rural communities into cities is considered to be the main cause of urban growth, especially in developing countries.
		Rural migrants are attracted by the possibilities that cities can offer, but often settle in shanty towns and experience extreme poverty.
		It is between rural classes and urban classes.

		Migrants from rural Mexico develop and maintain multiple relations--familial, economic, social, organizational, religious, and political--that span borders and are part of the increasingly transnational context of their lives.
		Transnational community and migration studies have formed a diverse field, in part because the existing literature refers to a variety of levels of activities, from the entrepreneurial efforts of individual migrants to the initiatives of home country politicians and elites to elicit support and resources from overseas communities.
		Transnational migrant communities are likely to persist, Roberts and his co-authors conclude, because the geo-economic and political factors that underpin it are unlikely to change substantially in the near future.

	Philosophy & Practices
		This research examines the geography of white rural poverty in the American Northwest as it is being transformed in relation to dramatic population growth and restructuring of employment opportunities in rural counties in recent decades.
		Migrants are the focus of this project because they occupy a vulnerable position within the capital city in terms of access to work, shelter and social networks of support.
		Second, recent in-migrants, who have responded to the promises of economic development, but who remain marginal to urban society are uniquely positioned to articulate the contradictions of neoliberal modernization.

	Labour migration and the generation conflict in rural Zambia in the 1970s
		The bureaucratization of rural political leadership, and hence the difficulty of rural career advancement (even for mature men in their thirties and older), with elders largely controlling both female labour and cash, had caused a tightening of the rural opportunity structure, which often manifested itself in the form of open inter-generational conflict.
		For the successful migrant the rural career orientation would remain latent and might even be ignored, until such time when he was to experience personally the insecurity of urban life: at the attainment of old age, dismissal from his job, or massive unemployment such as occurred e.g.
		The mature frustrated migrants, and those definitely too old to go working, should be orientated towards the higher level of the rural career model; but while some clearly are, many fail to derive inspiration from a status which is no longer surrounded with the authority, power, sanctions, splendor it would carry in their youth.

	The Effects of International Remittances on Poverty, Inequality, and Development in Rural Egypt
		All of the migrants in the survey were male because cultural considerations in the survey area tend to restrict women from seeking work abroad.
		Among the migrants who had already been abroad and returned, however, there were just as many from poor and lower-middle-income households as from households in the upper-income groups.
		Under such conditions, peasant migrants are likely to invest a larger share of their remittances in elements of the new agricultural technology, such as high-yielding seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural equipment.

	Bolivia - Urbanization
		For most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, however, the population as a whole remained overwhelmingly rural; in 1900, for example, a scant 14 percent lived in cities of more than 5,000 inhabitants.
		Between 1976 and 1986, urban growth intensified to 4.2 percent annually as the city encompassed 31 percent of the department's population.

		This is the common sense view of community that extends back to Galpin (1918) who delineated community boundaries on the basis of the prevailing direction of ruts created by wagon wheels turning from the door yards of individual residences in the direction of one settlement or another.
		Community as a kind of social relationship that is understood, in part, by studying patterns of social networks is useful because it allows one to further understand the relationship of rural people to each other and to the landscape in which they live.
		Although the rural areas that were historically founded on extraction and primary production of natural resource commodities play a vital role in the life support system for an increasingly urbanized-suburbanized consuming society, their place in the larger economy has become more uncertain and marginalized in recent years.

	Sociology: Workshop Schedule with Abstracts
		Qualitative data indicate that the level of discrimination for Latino migrants, immigrants, and in-migrants in rural Minnesota communities has escalated from subtle forms of residential discouragement to blatant domicide-- the public policy of demolishing housing occupied by a particular social, racial or ethnic group in the name of "the public good".
		Our approach promotes a conceptualization of the life span as characterized by three interlocked phenomena--cultural schema of the life course that govern the order and timing of transitions, the transitions themselves and the attainments that they connote, and individualistic psychological orientations--all of which may affect the acquisition of age-graded identities.
		For a long time, the political community was more or less congruent with the fellow citizens of the nation-state.

		A city could often have its own legislature, and sometimes a city could be directly under the supervision of the monarch, circumventing local noblemen.
		In exceptional cases like Venice, Genoa or Lübeck, cities themselves became powerful states, sometimes taking surrounding areas under their control or establishing extensive maritime empires, though this could sometimes impede the later development of a wider national state and economy.
		The growth of modern industry from the late 18th century onward led to the rise of new great cities, first in Europe and then in other regions, as new opportunities brought huge numbers of migrants from rural communities into urban areas.

		There are ample reasons for this transformation, among them the accelerating infusion of migrants from rural communities and the lack of necessary infrastructure and proper city planning to accomodate the incoming villagers.
		The oldest village community in Anatolia was found at Mt. Cayonu, near Ergani in Diyarbakir province, extending back 10,000 years and indicating that Diyarbakir and its environs have been home to many civilizations from that period onwards.
		When you add to this the unrestricted exodus from rural communities, Diyabakir has become a migration center.
