Why poverty line of a person is is high in urban areas than in rural areas?
Answers
Answer:
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) data estimates, the higher incidence of nonmetro poverty relative to metro poverty has existed since the 1960s when poverty rates were first officially recorded. Over time, the difference between nonmetro and metro poverty rates has generally narrowed, falling from an average difference of 4.5 percentage points in the 1980s to an average gap of about 3.1 percentage points over the last 10 years.
Answer:
Poverty line of a person is high in urban areas than in rural areas because all the people who are living in rural areas come in urban areas in search of jobs but the urban area can't give job to every person there . This increases poverty in urban areas .
