Ranks and report news

Decline in Rural-to-Urban Migration in India

Recent reports highlight a significant decline in rural-to-urban migration in India, marking a reversal of long-standing urbanization trends. According to the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), domestic migration decreased by 53.7 million in 2023, an 11.8% drop from 2011 levels. The migration rate fell from 37.6% in 2011 to 28.9% in 2023, with economic migration also declining by 5 million, from 45 million in 2011 to 40 million in 2023.

Increased Dependence on Agriculture

• A key factor contributing to this trend is the increased dependence on agriculture. In 2023-24, 46.1% of the workforce was engaged in agriculture, up from 42.5% in 2017-18.
• The rise in agricultural dependence has led to higher food demand, reducing urban supplies and driving persistent food inflation.
• There is also a rise in disguised unemployment in rural areas, coupled with stagnation in rural wages, particularly among women, whose real wages declined by 2.3% annually over the past five years.

Challenges to Rural Infrastructure Development

• Despite claims that improved rural infrastructure would reduce migration, infrastructure growth has been slower than expected.
• From FY14 to FY24, 25 million rural houses were added, falling significantly short of the 46.3 million houses that would have been added if earlier growth trends had continued.
• Rural electrification and housing construction have also slowed in recent years, further stalling progress.

Implications for Economic Growth

The decline in migration and urbanization has reduced the potential for productivity gains typically seen in urban agglomerations. This could have long-term consequences for economic growth in India, which has traditionally been driven by urbanization.

The economic slowdown is also likely to result in fiscal trade-offs, forcing the government to consider options such as:

• Increasing revenue spending
• Cutting capital expenditures
• Expanding GST coverage to compensate for slower tax revenue generation.

Policy Recommendations

To address these challenges, a dual focus on rural and urban policies is necessary:

• Support Rural Incomes: Implement fiscal incentives and employment programs to improve rural livelihoods and reduce the growing income disparity.
• Accelerate Urban Growth: Develop policies that encourage urban growth and create more economic opportunities in cities to reverse the rural-to-urban migration slowdown.
