Explain the problem of urban unemployment. Give three points​

Answer 1

• 1) India developed 217,000 tonnes of pesticides in fiscal year 2019.

• The Green Revolution resulted in a large-scale use of pesticides and synthetic nitrogen fertilisers, giving rise to improved irrigation projects and crop varieties.
• The main objective was to gain food security through scientific methods.

• 2) Mass migration is an important cause for unemployment in urban areas.
• People migrate from rural areas in large groups when there is drought or when any other unfavourable conditions occur.
• A city or town can ill-afford to provide employment opportunities to all of the migrated people, thus, causing mass unemployment.
