ABSTRACT
Poverty is portrayed as a burden on human society as a whole in the article "Urban Poverty: The Missing Linkage." According to reports, rural migration has caused urban poverty in India. The link between population rural and urban areas as the root of poverty in urban centers was thoroughly examined in the article. It has been discovered that the failure of rural programmes is one of the causes of people moving to metropolitan regions. The study first explores the causes of poverty throughout history before looking at the connections between urban and rural poverty in India. Urban poverty is seen to be getting worse as a result of opportunities—or lack thereof—in the rural. Urbanization and urban poverty are issues that are addressed. It is discovered that India's rate of urbanization is lower than that of several other Asian nations. The lack of opportunity in rural areas is a major factor in the migration of people from rural to urban areas. In India, the metropolitan areas now have more allure due to the structural change. The likelihood of low-income migrants working in the informal sector is increased by the poorer quality and quantity of human capital. Another finding is that poverty is passed down through the generations. In conclusion, it can be seen that one of the main causes of urban poverty has its roots in the widespread existence of poverty in rural areas. There is a stronger and mutually reinforcing relationship between rural and urban poverty. It is advised that development should focus on rural areas as well; an improvement in quality of life is required in both regions.
