some young people are leaving the country side to live in cities and town, leaving only old people in countryside. What problem does this cause? What can be done to solve this problem?
Over the years, there has been an immense development in cities and towns,
this
has led young individuals to migrate in search of a better life, leaving aged people in the countryside to cater for themselves. This
indeed has some negative impacts, but some measures can be taken to reduce this
menace.
To begin
with, our world has been developing constantly. There are a lot of new facilities in cities which are created every day. Thus
, megalopolises are required to find new people. Another aspect to be mentioned is that more young people are leaving the rural areas to become wealthy. Unfortunately, hardly can one deny that this
trend is killing towns and countryside where young adults grew up. For instance
, it was reported in 2017 in The New York Times that small towns in Russia are losing about 80 per cent of 20-odd people who moved to the cities annually because of money and possibilities.
Turning to a possible solution, perhaps the immediate step for governments would be to make small towns more attractive for youngsters. This
could be done thoroughly to transfer some huge companies to the countryside. Indeed, on several occasions, such
an approach was proven to be efficient. Take the case of Japan. About a decade ago the government of this
country made a law that the biggest companies in Japan cannot be located in huge cities. As a result
, young people stayed in their towns since they did not need to leave it because of well-paid jobs or facilities.
In conclusion, taking everything into account it must be said that, currently, this
problem still is a crucial issue for our society. Countries should discover Japan's example to avoid such
following problem as overpopulation in the future.Submitted by faruk42768 on
