Rajesh Das
Abstract :
In Geography Employment, Unemployment, Poverty and Gender issues are major concerns for social geographer. India where the populations reaches more than one billion and in respect of these resources are less, it is very difficult to provide employment for all. Thus, unemployment and incidence of poverty are critical issues. Higher population with high percentage of youth population and less available resources etc. are reasons behind mass unemployment in both rural and urban areas. However, lack of proper planning, weak governance and corruptions are also responsible for unemployment. In India nearly 70 percent population live in villages while 30 percent population live in urban areas. There are dichotomies in sense of their average family size, sex ratio, literacy rate, employment etc. population –resource relationship as one of the key factor compelled people to migrate for employment. The present paper highlights facts of rural –urban employment and status of migration on the basis of gender.
