Dear Student,

Migration can be defined as a physical transition from one society to another. This transition usually involves abandoning one social setting and entering another and different one. It is of two types:

• Emigration
• Immigration

People migrate because of "push" and "pull" factors:

• Push: Poor economic condition, lack of opportunity for advancement ,ultimate rural poverty
• Pull: Better employment facilities, amenities, higher wages, modern life etc.

Slums are a major burden on city resources because they are the pockets of diseases which may turn out to be pandemic, poverty and crime.
