Rural-urban migration

Migration of people from rural areas to urban centres in excess of the town's capacity to offer jobs, generally results in serious and increasing urban unemployment. Overpopulation in towns has also led to development of slums and shanties that offer poor hygiene. Increased robbery and prostitution has also been associated with unemployed population in urban centres. The government through media has urged the youth to engage in farming activities in rural areas instead of migrating to towns where they found themselves in problems associated with unemployment. Some youths have started farming in rural areas and are now earning good profit.
