Observe the given diagram and explain the rural urban composition in the developed and developing countries of the world.

Explanation

The above figure shows rural urban sex composition of aclected countries. The rural and urban differences in sex ratio in Canada and West European countries like Finland are just the opposite of those in African and Asian countries like Zimbabwe and Nepal respectively. In Western countries, males outrunber females in rural areas and females outnumber the males in urban areas.
In countries like Nepal, Pakistan and India the case is reverse. The excess of females in urban areas of U.S.A. Canada and Europe is the result of influx of females from rural areas to avail of the vast job opportunities. Farming in these developed countries is also highly mechanised and remains largely a male occupation. By contrast the sex ratio in Asian urban areas remains male dominated due to the predomance of malee migration also worth noting that in countries like India, female particiantion in farming activity in rural area is fairly high. Shortage of housing post of living paucity of job opportunites and lack of security incities, discourage women to migrate from rural to urban areas.
