	The shrinking of rural populations has both positive and negative side effects in terms of what rural-urban migration does to [[quality of life]]. ~~Although it would seem that there are only negative side-effects, that is not entirely the case. As it is, earnings~~ from non-farming activities are estimated to account for 30-50% of rural household income in Africa and about 60% in Asia.<ref>Gordon McGranahan et al. (2015, Feb. 18). ''Urbanization and its Implications for Food and Farming'' [Online]. Available: http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/365/1554/2809#sec-20</ref> Since rural populations do not rely completely on their rural income, the slow rural-urban migration can act as a form of income diversification that can support farming innovation. Small family farms that are well connected to markets can compete with larger, more commercial, farms. In addition, the urbanization provides people with better access to previously difficult to access amenities such as health care, social services, and higher-income jobs. This, in time, works to reduce the issue of rural poverty.

	~~However, there are negative side effects to this~~ migration~~. It~~ removes some farmers from the agriculture industry, causing a declining ratio of food producers to food consumers, ~~and although~~ people ~~may~~ move to cities in hopes of finding higher income jobs, the large influx of workers to the cities may make it difficult for people to find jobs that pay well despite their qualifications.		This migration removes some farmers from the agriculture industry, causing a declining ratio of food producers to food consumers. As technology improves, an individual farmer can produce more food, freeing people up for other work. The downside is that when many people move to cities in hopes of finding higher income jobs, the large influx of workers to the cities may make it difficult for people to find jobs that pay well despite their qualifications.
