Question

advantages of migrant population in Delhi

Answer 1

Migration of people from one geographic location to another for various reasons is an inevitable phenomenon. Delhi being the Capital of India generates enormous job opportunities for labourers, skilled and unskilled workers. So people who are not paid well or who do not have enough job opportunities in their native land or the ones who are looking for growth and better job opportunities are attracted towards Delhi. Women generally relocate after marriage.

This movement is benefiting migrants in terms of better wages and better lifestyle but this mass migration is somewhere inversely impacting the Capital. Delhi now has more number of slums, unauthorized areas, JJ clusters and jhuggis. It is estimated that more than half of the population of Delhi resides in unauthorized colonies and slums which lack even basic facility of water and drainage. The crime rate and other social issues have increased manifold in Delhi. Though it cannot be said with certainty that migration is the whole sole reason for all this but definitely there is a connection among all these.
