Urbanization of rural areas

  • Urban development in agricultural areas
  • Rurbanization

Incidence

The "rurbanization" of the countryside in many countries of Latin America consists in the appearance of settlements or slums at cross roads in agricultural export areas. The precariousness of those settlements, job insecurity, likelihood of hard labour, concentration of poverty and destitution, are some of the characteristics of these new forms of slavery.
