Around the globe a phenomenon called rural-urban migration occurs which means that people move from rural to urban areas. The world today gets more and more urbanized and 2007 was the year when more than half of the world’s population lived in urban areas. This pattern of movement seems to keep on, especially in developing countries where the urban areas are expanding. Rural-urban migration can be analyzed on a global scale but it is also important to understand what impact this process has on a local and personal scale. When it is mostly the able-bodied (the physically stronger and often educated), younger generation that moves from the rural to the urban areas it is the left-behind, older generation that is left with the responsibility for the agricultural production. They need to find new ways of coping with their livelihoods.
