Question

How does the predominance of rural population affect the quality of a population?

• A. Rural areas are not equipped with technology, which results in low employment opportunities.
• B. People living in rural areas are involved in agriculture, which means lesser imports of food.
• C. People in rural areas believe that more kids means more helpers for agriculture, which results in overpopulation.
• D. Unavailability of higher education in rural areas affects the growth of the people.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

Unavailability of higher education in rural areas affects the growth of the people.

A slower process of urbanisation results in a low quality of population. Such a population is characterised by illiteracy due to the lack of education, low life expectancy due to poor healthcare facilities, and an unfavourable sex ratio.
