Solution

Self employment in rural areas reduces the rate of migration of people from rural to urban areas in search of jobs. As a result, the jobs that are available in urban areas can be taken by people who are living in these urban areas. This reduces unemployment in urban areas. Hence, self employment in rural areas leads to higher rate of urban employment.
