Reducing Urban to Rural Migration

Q. Provide some guidelines on urban to rural migration in context of Bangladesh?

Guidelines both for rural and urban areas can be provided for urban to rural migration. Such are as follows:

        • Creating an appropriate rural urban economic balance.

        • Expansion of small scale, labor-intensive industries.

        • Eliminating factor price distortions.

        • Choosing appropriate labor intensive technologies of production.

        • Modifying the linkage between education and employment.

        • Reducing population growth.

        • Decentralizing authority to cities and neighborhoods.

        • Rural areas service facilities should be developed.

        • Education and other institutional supports should be provided for rural areas.

        • In some extent entry for urban area should be controlled with some rules and regulations.

In general for rural areas:

Service facilities and other issues related to income and employment should be closer to urban areas, thus people urge no need for migration.

In general for urban areas:

Some restrictions should be provided for decrease urban entry.

These are the guidelines for this concern. As in a sense if we can develop rural areas with more service facilities and income employment growths like towns, then rural urban migration ultimately stops.
