What is Infant Mortality rate?
Detailed Explanation:
Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) measures the number of deaths of children before the age of 1 year per 1,000 live births in a given year.
Option 4 correctly defines IMR as the proportion of children dying before age 1 per 1,000 live births, while options 1, 2, and 3 incorrectly refer to ages 3, 4, and 2 years respectively.
Which of the following is a cause of rural to urban migration in India?
Detailed Explanation:
Rural to urban migration in India is driven by push factors (lack of opportunities in villages) and pull factors (better prospects in cities).
High labour demand in cities creates job opportunities and higher wages, attracting rural workers. Unbalanced rural-urban development results in poor infrastructure, inadequate services, and limited growth in villages. Few jobs in rural areas due to seasonal agriculture and absence of industries force migration to urban centres.
All three factors collectively explain rural to urban migration patterns.
