Why is the government policy of encouraging Ugandans to stay in rural area likely to meet obstacles in its implementation?
- Localization of industries in town increase employment opportunities in towns and there encourages rural-urban migration
- High wage gap; the difference between the wages paid to worker in urban areas and rural area is high prompting people to migrate to urban areas for higher pay.
- Social service gap: there are better infrastructures such as roads, schools, hospitals in towns than in villages encouraging rural-urban migration
- Increase in population in rural areas; high production rate in rural areas cause population pressures in the rural area causing some of them to move to urban areas.
- Political instabilities; the common political instabilities in rural area force people to migrate to urban areas
- Low prices for agricultural products: low income from agricultural produces forces to people to move to urban areas in search for high income from wages
- Lack of credit facilities; credit facilities are mostly in urban areas
- Land and other conflicts in rural areas cause people to migrate to urban areas
- Weak implementation machinery; there is no obvious effective implementation machinery
