Generally urbanization in developing country cities is characterized by a high migration of poor people to cities. This is particularly the case where agriculture's incapacity to absorb surplus labour is marked. Therefore the growth of cities should also be characterized by a high number of migrants forming slums. In that case is developing country urbanization positively correlated with the size of slum population? The bigger the city the more the slums?
The bigger the cities, the bigger the slums is not necessarily true. If policies can make the rural areas more attractive for people to stay then they won't migrate in such big numbers. Still it is difficult to achieve this.
Thank you for the answer. In India such policies are far from apparent. The reverse seems to be happening.
