Question 29

Study Figure 3.

Line graph showing the percentage (%) of the population living in urban areas in selected countries (Germany, Peru, India, and Nigeria) from 1980 to 2025. Germany increases slowly from 73% to 78%; Peru rises steadily from 65% to 79%; Nigeria rises steeply from 22% in 1980 to 54% in 2025; India rises steadily from 23% to 38%.

Suggest one reason for the rapid rate of urban population growth (urbanisation) shown in countries such as Nigeria or India.
