Question

Explain, with examples, any three economic factors affecting population distribution in the world.

Hint:

Economic opportunities are a major driver of population clustering in urban and developed areas.

Answer 1

1. Employment Opportunities: Regions with industrial and commercial hubs, such as urban centers, attract large populations. Example: New York City. 
2. Economic Stability: Areas with higher incomes and better living standards, like Western Europe, have denser populations. 
3. Agricultural Productivity: Fertile plains like the Ganga Basin in India support dense rural populations.
