impacts of rural industries?
463748
In recent years, the reform of rural schools, like the reform of urban and suburban schools, has been urged as a means of contributing to the construction of a competitive national economy. The issue of economic development, however, differs in rural and urban America (DeYoung, 1985; Jacobs, 1984; Stephens, 1988).\n\nThe difference stems in part from the traditional relationship of rural and urban areas. Traditionally, rural areas export to cities goods such as lumber, minerals, and agricultural products, but they have also contributed the work of employees who have abandoned rural areas in search of city jobs. Moreover, some observers suggest that even when businesses transplant factories to rural areas, urban economies reap most of the benefits (Jacobs, 1984). These observers cite low-wages, export of profits, and the failure of transplanted factories to stimulate locally-based production enterprises as problems.\n\nRural areas differ, too, from urban areas because their economies tend to be specialized (Stephens, 1988). Though rural areas differ from one another in the type of specialized economic activity each conducts, they share the fact of specialization. Rural areas, then, contribute to the national economy in ways different from urban areas, and what benefits the national economy will not necessarily benefit the rural economy or rural schools.\n\nFor these reasons, the effect that specialized rural industries have on educational outcomes is a topic of growing interest. The purpose of this digest is to review the available literature on this emerging topic. The research reported below deals with a variety of outcomes, though those of greatest interest are academic outcomes.

it depends on where you are in the country and how much education you have. the numbers are aggregated so its over all markets and industries. so if you are in an industry that isnt growing then you need to look elsewhere.

In a nutshell: It was a period of dramatic transition when our country went from an agrarian economy to on industrialized one. What that means is, instead of most people working on farms growing and making most of what they needed, urban life became more the norm; with people working in factories and the like and purchasing most of what they needed.

in the first step IT should reach to rural mass in terms of education and hardware infrastructure... There is a huge space for an information exchange which can give a stable income to the rural mass increasing per-capita income.

A few ideas as to the Economic Pro's + and Cons -\n\nMechanised (Contemporary)\nEconomies of Scale +\nEfficient +\nGreater production yield (Mass Production) +\nFewer Manual resource's +\nDifferent Type of Labour Skill (Machinist rather than labourer)\nHomogeneous products +\nLess fertile land from over production -\nGreater supply leads to a decrease in price -\nOver production (stock piling)-\nPollution -\nImproved wholesale and distribution +\nProduct into the shops quicker +\n\nTraditional Farming\nFree Range Organic Natural Produce +\nEnvironmentally Friendly +\nLabour intensive -\nManual harvesting and packaging, less fresh when it arrives for sale -\nGreat cost of production and distribution -\n\nHope that gives you a few areas for thought!

There's entirely too much information available on this subject.  I suggest you start with a simple internet search with using words or phrases like 'tropical deforestation issues' or 'impact of tropical deforestation'.  There's a ton of info to find.  Also try your local library.  I'm sure there are tons of magazine and journal articles written on the subject.

There is a good introductory article on Sri Lanka on Wikipedia.org. It includes both discussions of economy and ecology, and has additional links. It mentions that lots of forest has been cleared for agriculture and that two of the major agricultural crops are tea and cinnamon. Other crops could be bananas, cassave, maize, palms, rice, sorghum, sweet potato, or taro root. I am only mentioning these because they are common tropical agricultural products that I have seen in other parts of the tropics. There is an even better historical discussion here:\nhttp://www2.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/srilanka.htm\n\nThe World Food Program has a short write-up.\nhttp://www.wfp.org/country_brief/indexcountry.asp?region=5&section=9&sub_section=5&country=144\nThe FAO has an interesting gender based study here:\nhttp://www.fao.org/sd/WPdirect/WPre0112.htm\nhttp://www.fao.org/documents/show_cdr.asp?url_file=/docrep/004/w2299e/w2299e00.htm\n\nThere is a blog and website devoted to Sri Lanka that has some useful information:\nhttp://servesrilanka.net/\nhttp://servesrilanka.blogspot.com/2005/04/long-term-sustenance-of-agribusiness_30.html\n\nhttp://servesrilanka.net/technology_poverty_sri_lanka.pdf\n\nAs I am sure you have discovered this is a tough topic to find direct examples. There is much indirect discussion regarding the effects, but probably little direct data exists. This is the best I can help you with.

The most striking immediate change accompanying urbanization is the rapid change in the prevailing character of local livelihoods as agriculture or more traditional local services and small-scale industry give way to modern industry and urban and related commerce, with the city drawing on the resources of an ever-widening area for its own sustenance and goods to be traded or processed into manufactures.\n\nResearch in urban ecology finds that larger cities provide more specialized goods and services to the local market and surrounding areas, function as a transportation and wholesale hub for smaller places, and accumulate more capital, financial service provision, and an educated labor force, as well as often concentrating administrative functions for the area in which they lie. This relation among places of different sizes is called the urban hierarchy.\n\nAs cities develop, effects can include a dramatic increase in rents, often pricing the local working class out of the market, including such functionaries as employees of the local municipalities. Supermarkets and schools sometimes relocate or close down owing to the same financial pressure. Dramatic increases in land values also encourage further development, and may bring an increased tax revenue for local government.\n\nIn order to mitigate the problems of city growth, certain policies such as zoning or growth control or creation of an urban growth boundary are put in place, although the eventual effect of those policies sometimes turn out to be inflated land and housing prices due to a restricted supply.

If there's very little industry in an area, more than likely the area will be rural farmland.  And farming is usually not profitable, so hiring work is out of the question.  The cheapest solution then is having a large family to do all the farm work, gaining profits on farming and losing nothing on managing the farm.

Modernization means a great change for many countries. As you can see some effects of modernization is the outsourcing of business in other countries. That means less job for some countries while a great opportunity for other countries offering cheap labor cost. Other effects of modernization I think is the way people lives. Like now at our times, technology affects how we live our lives everyday. Cellphones and internet have largely affected the way we communicate with each other.

It affects many things . Such as not to develop diversify agricultural activities instead simply grows similar products, types of trees are more or less have similar nature that are hard trees, the types of animals especially diary cattles are not much productive,etc.

Try a country in Africa \nAnalysis of the impacts of climate change suggests that agro-ecological systems are the most vulnerable sectors. Agriculture in low latitude developing countries is expected to be especially vulnerable because climates of many of these countries are already too hot. Further warming is consequently expected to reduce crop productivity adversely. These effects are exacerbated by the fact that agriculture and agro-ecological systems are especially prominent in the economies of African countries and the systems tend to be less capital and technology intensive. Predictions of impacts across regions consequently suggest large changes in the agricultural systems of low latitude (mostly, developing) countries.
