Read the following passage and answer questions that follow.

Considered from an urban point of view, the rapid growth in urbanization shows that the town or city has been

acting as a magnet for the rural population. Those who cannot find work for sufficient work) in the rural areas go to the city in search of work. This flow of rural-to-urban migration has also been accelerated by the continuous decline of common property resources like ponds, forests and grazing lands. These common resources enabled poor people to survive in the villages although they owned little or no land. Now, these resources have been turned into private property, or they are exhausted. (Ponds may run dry or no longer provide enough fish: forests may have been cut down and have vanished...). If people no longer have access to these resources, but on the other hand have to buy many things in the market that they used to get free (like fuel, fodder or supplementary food items), then their hardship increases. The hardship is worsened by the fact that opportunities for earning cash income are limited in the villages.
