The regularity of migration patterns often depends on factors like proximity to resources, economic opportunities, and living conditions. For instance, rural areas, which may lack the infrastructure needed to support large populations, can drive people to migrate to urban centers. These migrations are also influenced by fertility rates, as families in rural areas might have more children but face limited access to education, healthcare, and job opportunities, further encouraging movement to cities. In contrast, urbanization tends to increase as cities offer better infrastructure, including transportation, education, and employment, drawing in individuals from less developed regions.
Urbanization and migration can have significant impacts on both consumption and mortality rates. As people move to urban areas, consumption of goods and services increases, contributing to the growth of local economies. However, rapid urbanization without adequate infrastructure can lead to overcrowding, poor sanitation, and limited access to healthcare, which can increase mortality rates in these environments. On the other hand, rural areas may experience a decline in mortality due to reduced population pressures, though they still face challenges in fertility and consumption due to their isolated nature and limited access to modern services.
