Heather Reyes · Answer 1

Lack of jobs and expensive housing

Explanation:

Rural to Urban migration is very influential in most megacities settlements and this will lead to squatter settlements. For example State like Lagos which is Nigeria is one of the most populous State in the world due to its high population, Rural to Urban migration is very common in this part and the more the population the more pressure for the Government to build infrastructure for employment so in that process there will be lack of jobs and even for them to afford normal apartment will be difficult therefore it will lead to squatter settlement for them.
