Solution

The major difference between the rural and urban poverty is the standard of living. The urban household enjoys a better standrd of living in general as compared to the former. The level and access to education is also a key difference. The urban poor enjoys better quality and access to education than the rural poor.

Next, healthcare services are far better in urban areas. They are more prevalent and there is better knowledge about medicine in the urban faciltiies. In rural areas, people live in kutcha houses while people in urban areas generally live in pakka houses. Lastly, several rural people migrate to the cities in search of better jobs, to become part of the urban poor. The reverse is a rare occurrence.
