...which means that a typical migrant cannot expect to secure a high-paying urban job immediately. Therefore, in deciding to migrate, the individual must balance the probabilities and risks of being unemployed or underemployed for a considerable period of time against the positive urban-rural real income differential. Considering these factors in addition to the traditional model, Todaro model was developed. Thus the fundamental idea of Todaro model is that migrants should consider the various labour market opportunities available to them in the rural and urban sectors and choose the one that maximizes their expected gains from migration. It is a theory that explains rural-urban migration as an economically rational process despite high urban unemployment. Characteristics: 1. Migration is stimulated primarily by rational economic considerations of relative benefits and costs, mostly financial but also psychological. * The theory assumes that members of the labor force, both actual and potential, compare their expected incomes for a given time period in the urban sector with prevailing average rural incomes and migrate if the return exceeds the cost of migration. Example: Average rural farm laborer or working his own land receives an annual average real income of 50 units. A worker with skill or education working in urban, can obtain wage employment yielding an annual real income of 100 units. In fact, it is much more likely that on...

... FROM: DATE: February 14, 2011 SUBJECT: Analysis of Factors that Affect Property Crime Rates I have analyzed the data of the factors that affect property crime rates in the United States. Here are my results. Data The data provided included; crime rate per hundred thousand inhabitants (which included burglary, larceny, theft, and motor vehicle theft), pincome- per capita income for each state, dropout- high school drop-out rate, precip- average precipitation in inches in the major city in each state over 1951-1980, pubaid- percentage of public aid recipients, density- population/total square miles, kids- public aid for families with children (dollars per family), unemploy- percentage of unemployed workers, urban- percentage of the residents living in urban areas.

...CHAPTER 6 URBAN OPERATIONS This chapter describes techniques, procedures and special considerations that are used by platoons and squads throughout the planning and execution of operations in a urban area. Section I. OFFENSE While operating in urban areas, the major offensive collective tasks at platoon and squad level are attacking and clearing buildings. This involves isolating the objective, suppressing the threat, advancing the assault element, assaulting the building, clearing the building, and consolidating and reorganizing the force. Regardless of the type of urban area or the structural characteristics, there are six interrelated requirements for attacking a defended building: • Isolation of the building or objective. • Supporting fires. • Tactical movement • Breaching. • Assaulting. • Reorganization. Proper application and integration of these requirements can reduce casualties and hasten accomplishment of the mission. The platoon leader, when developing the plan for an attack on an urban objective, must consider the type of building to be assaulted, the rules of engagement (ROE), and the nature of the surrounding urban area. These considerations will determine the method of execution. For example, medium-size towns have numerous open spaces, and larger cities have high-rise apartments and industrial and transportation areas that are separated by parking areas or parks. Increased fire support is required to suppress...

...China research – Bullet 5 Demographics Political and legal environment in China make it very volatile for business outside of the country. China is undergoing massive urbanisation with millions (160m) of people moving from rural to urban environments. However the mass industrialisation comes with a lot of pollution costs. The urbanisation is pushing up consumption per person but also increasing income per person. Population in China is suspected to reach 1 billion by 2030. The scale and pace of China's urbanization continues at an unprecedented rate. If current trends hold, China's urban population will hit the one billion mark by 2030. In 20 years, China's cities will have added 350 million people more than the entire population of the United States today. By 2025, China will have 221 cities with one million–plus inhabitants—compared with 35 cities of this size in Europe today—and 23 cities with more than five million. For companies in China and around the world, the scale of China’s urbanization promises substantial new markets and investment opportunities. Yet the expansion of China's cities will represent a huge challenge for local and national leaders. Of the slightly more than 350 million people that China will add to its urban population by 2025, more than 240 million will be migrants. This growth will imply major pressure points for many cities including the challenge of managing these expanding populations, securing sufficient public funding for the provision of social...

...association with IDA (Indian Dental Association). Cottle India is adequately supported by the parent company and follows a decentralized approach for India market strategy. For new markets Cottle’s general approach is to enter market with basic models and competitive prices, and gradually shift the focus to high-margin products. In India Cottle’s most successful toothbrush brand is Complete (accounted for 67% of Cottle’s total unit sales in 2009), which is also the lowest-priced toothbrush for adults. Competitor: Hinda-Daltan & SarIndia are two distant competitors with 21% and 11% market share respectively. The remaining share of toothbrush market is composed of low-quality, low-priced products imported from China and Vietnam. Cottle has a competitive advantage in toothbrush industry due to its manufacturing excellence and flexibility to adjust product-mix to meet demand. Customer: Majority (80%) of the Indian households live on less than $2/day and hence customers are likely to be price sensitive. Indian population can largely be segregated into rural and urban customers. More than 50% of rural population, which accounts for 78% of total population, does not use toothbrush and majority of the remaining do...

...HOUSING AS A SOCIAL PROBLEM The literature on economic development abounds with references to the ‘social’ nature of housing requirement. This phrase is used to distinguish the housing sector from other capital intensive sectors of developing economies such as manufacturing. The implication, which is often made very explicit, indeed, is that while there is no ‘economic’ need for housing investment since the market demand for it appears very weak, it ultimately must be provided in order to solve a “social problem.” According to Smith (1970), housing sector is regarded as a drag upon the process of economic growth. While it is admitted that housing must be provided or improved eventually, many national economic development programmes regard housing as a form of investment eminently able to be postponed. The longer it can be put off, the reason goes, the better the result for the nation as a whole. The big question How does housing come to be excluded from the category of ‘economic good’s’ so that it must be bestowed as a kind of social security benefit? Housing as a ‘social good’ is not a universal concept. There are portions of the world in which the satisfaction of demand for housing and housing improvement, is a rewarding private business which does not lack eager participants and which seems to produce, as in the United States, a general level of housing welfare which is widely envied. Nevertheless, in many parts of the world, housing is regarded as a demand...
