tailieunhanh - Migration behaviour index – A measure to quantify the migration behaviour of rural youth

Exodus of youth from rural areas to urban areas has become an inevitable phenomenon in our country. The rural youth population of India is slowly deserting their origin and swarming towards the urban areas. The exodus of rural youth means fewer small-scale farmers, today and tomorrow. It is a global food security issue too. Having an insight into the rationale behind the exodus behavior of rural youth is hence crucial. Considering this point of view, a study was conducted among 160 migrant rural youths with agricultural background. |
