On 18 April 2023 Reuters reported: According to 2011 figures, the latest available, India's then population of 1.21 billion people included 456 million internal migrants. Nearly two-thirds of India's people are under 35 and many of those in the countryside flock to the cities to take whatever job they can -- becoming labourers, drivers, or helpers in shops and homes. ...Besides the low-paid and difficult-to-get jobs, those arriving in the cities are faced with prohibitive costs of living and a struggle to find a place to live. They are unable to access social welfare benefits and many fall victim to the crime rampant in urban slums. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern business and government systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.

... 'Rural India (only) provides jobs in the form of disguised unemployment,' said Mahesh Vyas, who heads the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy.

This meant, he said, that even if more jobs are created in agriculture, they do not add to output. And apart from agriculture, the only investment in the hinterlands is in temporary infrastructure projects, which produce short-lived jobs.
