The economic factors that affect the distribution of population are as follows:
1. Minerals: The regions rich with minerals attract industries. Mining and industrial activities produce employment.
2. Urbanisation: Cities provide good opportunity of educational and medical facilities and also provide good means of transport and communication.
3. Industrialisation: Industrialisation attracts people on very large scale. In it, not only the workers of industries, but drivers, shopkeepers, workers of banks, doctors,’ teachers and other service sectors are also included.
4. Social and cultural factors: Some places attract people more for religious and cultural importance, so many people populate such regions.
