Many end up living in informal settlements, face low salaries, lack job opportunities, and encounter insufficient services, which contradicts a consistent improvement in their quality of life and standard of living.
Question 2: Cities generally offer more reliable sources of food, which acts as a pull factor for rural-urban migration.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: One of the pull factors attracting people to cities is the availability of more reliable sources of food and improved food security.
Question 3: The lack of electricity and running water services in rural areas is considered a push factor for rural-urban migration.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials list 'Lack of electricity, running water and sewage services' as one of the push factors, explaining why people leave farms.
Question 4: Is an efficient transport system in urban areas a factor that causes basic services like shops and schools to close in rural areas?
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: An efficient transport system is listed as a pull factor attracting people to cities, not a factor causing rural services to close. The closure of basic services in rural areas is attributed to decreasing numbers of people due to rural depopulation.
Question 5: The primary pull factor attracting people to cities is the increased availability of efficient waste management services.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials list greater variety of jobs, improved housing, access to doctors, efficient transport, and entertainment as pull factors.
