Abstract
Rural-urban migration has been very evident in global population
changes in recent decades, especially in India, where migration
growth rates are among the highest in the world. Many research
articles focused only on the migration of young farmers in India.
This article highlights the migration of young farmers from rural
to urban areas in Bengaluru, their sustainability, and a survey
made on the young farmer’s migration. In this context, the study
was conducted in the Bangalore region on the migration of
Anantapur young farmers, Andhra Pradesh. This study examines
the sustainability of young farmers after migration to urban areas
and, based on this objective, to find out young migrant farmers
are financially well-being or not. For the purpose of analysis, 500
primary data are collected from the young migrant farmers. The
Probit model is employed to assess whether young migrant farmers
were economically stable or not. The study’s findings show
that young migrated farmers to urban areas are more likely to be
unsustainable due to the cost of living and additional costs.
Young migrant farmers do not have enough income so they take
loans from private lenders to meet their needs.
