What if it's other way round? People move to cities because they can afford to.
In my country there is calculation that some 80% of all wealth is bound to infrastructure. So leaving behind one infra and building another would be the most expensive thing a family could ever do. Middle class of poor country would stay in inherited house.
- Noseshine 10y agoWe can see in many poor countries that a major driver of moving people to urban centers is the opposite: They can't afford not moving. This results in the many huge and still growing slum areas in and around many major cities. I also refer to the many headlines about Indian farmers committing suicide, although of course one has to be careful with generalizations.
