are the high level of migration to the cities from the countryside and the infringement on the general

of rural areas and investment in local businesses seem to be the best.      

First

and foremost, the low standard of living in local areas causes increased rural-urban migration. The high influx of people into the cities, for better job opportunities or even the chance at a better life, can result in congestion and

puts a strain on the facilities that are meant to serve just a proportion of the population.

Furthermore

obstacle, the government needs to build infrastructure and develop the rural areas, so that they can stop migrating to the cities for basic amenities.

For example

since the state began providing better housing and developing the area.    

Secondly

of the country. Each of the areas in a state, is meant to contribute their quarter to the revenue of the country at intervals. Rural areas are unable to do so, because their businesses do not thrive, as they are less likely to get loans for their activities.

In addition

areas. To solve

problem, policies should be made to empower local businesses, so that they can make ends meet. The government should

invest in rural businesses and make loans available for them.

For instance

showed that after the empowerment and investment in local businesses, the gross domestic product of the nation, rose by almost 45%.     In conclusion, the rapid rate of urbanization in some areas, has left rural areas behind.

This

has caused a lot of people to abandon
