In Karnataka's urban districts, migration from rural to urban areas has a significant and diverse impact on gender roles and family structures. Traditional family structures and gender roles experience profound shifts as people from rural areas relocate to metropolitan areas in pursuit of greater economic possibilities. This study uses a quantitative method to investigate how gender roles and family structures are affected by migration from rural to urban areas in Karnataka. A cross-sectional research approach was utilized, whereby structured surveys were utilized to gather data from migrant households throughout a range of urban stay durations. According to the data, there is a significant positive association between the amount of time spent in metropolitan areas and the change in perceptions of gender roles toward those that are more progressive. Gender roles in urban environments are regularly rated higher than in rural ones, suggesting that as migrants adjust to urban norms, gender attitudes change significantly.
