8d. Rural > urban shifts in population Sources: Wikipedia and urbanization and development in latin america by myron frankman Examples:
 * People lived and worked on farms before
 * War triggered move to city life
 * More job opportunities
 * Demand for goods to help the war effort
 * There were less immigrants because of the drafts, so need for workers increased
 * Northern companies persuaded Afro-Americans to move north to work for them, offering well-paid jobs, free transportation, and low-cost housing
 * Urbanization > unemployment, underemployment for more recent migrants
 * Rapid urbanization > too much exporting > leaving not enough in own country > more importing = non balanced system
 * More machines, less work on farm
 * Machines did most work people could do > less labor work
 * However, rapid urbanization > economic development for many Latin American countries
