Which of the following is an effect of rural-urban migration on the source region?
Explanation
When people leave villages for cities, the village population drops. This is called rural depopulation.
The source region is where migrants come from. The destination is where they go. Villages lose people to cities.
Rural depopulation leaves fewer workers for farming and fewer customers for local businesses.
