                          \nAnswer:
                          \nThe process of society\u2019s transformation from rural to urban is known as urbanization. The level of urbanization of a place is assessed based on the size of population of the towns and cities and the proportion of population engaged in non agricultural sectors. These two are closely linked to the process of industrialization and expansion of the secondary and tertiary sectors of economy.<\/p>\n

                          Impacts of urbanization:<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • Urbanization and population concentration go hand – in – hand and are closely related to each other. A rapid rate of urbanization in a society is taken as an indicator of its economic development.<\/li>\n
                          • Urbanization is increasing rapidly in the developing countries including India.<\/li>\n
                          • Rural to urban migration leads to population explosion in urban areas. Metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Kolkatta and Delhi have more population than that can accommodate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            The following are the major problem of urbanization in India:<\/p>\n

                            • It makes overcrowding in urban centres.<\/li>\n
                            • It leads to shortage of houses in urban areas.<\/li>\n
                            • It leads to the formation of slums.<\/li>\n
                            • It increases traffic congestion in cities.<\/li>\n
                            • It creates water scarcity in cities.<\/li>\n
                            • It creates drainage problems.<\/li>\n
                            • It poses the problem of solid waste management.<\/li>\n
                            • It increases the rate of crime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  \nAnswer:
                                  \nThe role of taxation in developing economics is as follows.<\/p>\n

                                  1. Resource mobilisation: Taxation enables the government to mobilise a substantial amount of revenue. The tax revenue is generated by imposing direct taxes such as personal income tax and corporate tax and indirect taxes such as customs duty, excise duty, etc.<\/p>\n

                                  2 Reduction in equalities of income: Taxation follows the principle of equity. The direct
                                  \ntaxes are progressive in nature. Also certain indirect taxes, such as taxes on luxury goods, is also progressive in nature.<\/p>\n

                                  3. Social welfare: Taxation generates social welfare. Social welfare is generated due to higher taxes on certain undesirable products like alcoholic products.<\/p>\n

                                  4. Foreign exchange: Taxation encourages exports and restricts imports, Generally developing countries and even the developed countries do not impose taxes on export items.<\/p>\n

                                  5. Regional development: Taxation plays an important role in regional development, Tax incentives such as tax holidays for setting up industries in backward regions, which induces business firms to set up industries in such regions.<\/p>\n

                                  6. Control of inflation: Taxation can be used as an instrument for controlling inflation. Through taxation the government can control inflation by reducing the tax on the commodities.<\/p>\n

                                  Question 39.
                                  \nWrite briefly the history of globalization.
                                  \nAnswer:
                                  \nThe historical background of globalization can be discussed in three steps –
                                  \n(i) Archaic Globalization – It is an early form of globalization. It existed during the Hellenistic Age. It established a trade link between the Roman Empire, Parthian Empire and the Han Dynasty. The commercial links between these powers inspired the development of the Silk Road. The Islamic Golden Age was also an important early stage of globalization.<\/p>\n

                                  (ii) Proto Globalization – It was characterised by the rise of maritime European empires in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the 17th century, globalization became private business phenomenon like British East India Company founded in 1600, described as the first multinational company.<\/p>\n

                                  (iii) Modern Globalization – The 19th and 20th centuries witnessed the advent of modem globalization. Global trade and capital investment increased. Several multinational firms came into being.<\/p>\n

                                  Question 40.
                                  \nWhat are the contributions of Industrialization to development?
                                  \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                                  (i) As stated earlier, it is essential to produce inputs to other producers in an economy. Even agriculture requires inputs from industry such as fertilisers and tractors to increase productivity.<\/p>\n

                                  (ii) Second, a market exists for both producers and consumer goods. Even services like banking, transport and trade are dependent on production of industrial goods.<\/p>\n

                                  (iii) Third, by using modem methods of production, industries contribute to better productivity and hence lower cost of production of all goods produced. It therefore helps people to buy goods at a cheaper rate and help create demand for more products.<\/p>\n

                                  (iv) Fourth, through such expansion of production, industrialisation helps to absorb the labour force coming out of agriculture. Employment generation is therefore an important objective of industrialisation.<\/p>\n

                                  (v) Fifth, a related advantage of industrialisation is therefore technological change. Through use of modem techniques, industrialisation contributes to learning of such methods and their improvement. As a result labour productivity, ie, output per unit of labour input increases, which can help workers earn higher wages.<\/p>\n

                                  (vi) Sixth, expanding incomes lead to more demand for goods and services. If an economy is not able to produce enough to meet such demand, it has to rely on imports and therefore spend a lot of foreign exchange. If the economy does not earn enough from exporting, it will be difficult to meet the growing demand. Industrialisation therefore helps an economy to save and also generate foreign exchange through exports. .<\/p>\n
