Urbanization
Migrants move from rural areas in search of jobs and a better quality of life, so occupations and lifestyles become urban. Population becomes concentrated in urban areas through migration and natural increase.

Development leads to a shift in the economy from primary industry to secondary, tertiary and quaternary industries.
