4. Internal Migration in India
Put the above title in your book and copy the
following information
ï The poorest parts of India are in the
countryside
ï The richest parts of India are in cities
ï Therefore the most common movement is
from rural to urban
ï This is called urbanisationâŠâŠâŠ
5. Migration Statistics (copy the
below information)
External Migration is not important in India as it is a
poor country
ï Only 6 million or less than 1% of the population
are born overseas. Most of these are illegal
migrants from Bangladesh and Nepal.
External migration is more important in New
Zealand.
ï Here 23% of the population is born overseas

7. INTERNAL MIGRATION IN INDIA
ï As you go through the power point fill in
the migration model you have drawn with
facts you can use.
ï Try to keep your points brief but look to
include statistics you could use in the
exam later in the year
8. 72% of People in India live in
more than 500,000 villages.
9. 80% of these have fewer than 1,000 people
so have few services and are very basic with
no infrastructure (electricity or water)
ï 25% of people live below the poverty line
19. There is a strict social structure- most of the
land is owned by a few wealthy often city
based landlords
20. Tradition such as the castes
structure is strong
ï Lower caste Hindus (untouchables)
protest after being prevented from voting.
21. Hinduism does not promote a desire
for change â they are vary of this as it
is not understood
22. As money is scarce children are sent out to work
often as soon as they can walk â India has 17 million
children working like this â the highest in the world
23. Although it is illegal to employ someone
under the age of 14 the laws are not
enforced
24. Another problem is the system of family
inheritance. Land is divided on death
between sons â over time plots are too
small to be of use
55. Plus If they bulldoze them down and replace with
smart apartments where do the people go as they
cannot afford the rents. Over 2 million Indians are
âhomelessâ as it is
56. Some high rise apartments for poor have
been built but they are not popular as
rents are still high
57. Despite all this the cities still have more
opportunity than rural areas as money is
invested here. Urbanisation is a trend that
continues to rise at too fast a rate.
