A rise in the standard of living in a country often only seems to benefits cities rather than rural areas. What problems might this differences cause? How might these problems be reduced?

A number of countries have experienced quick economic progress recently and that in return has improved the living standards of citizens. According to some,

did almost nothing for the rural area. So the gap, in terms of economic growth, between the urban and rural areas actually hampered the overall improvement of a

. Many issues have emerged because of

this

discrimination that we will discuss shortly.

On the other hand

, different strategies and solutions can be implemented to overcome the problems which have caused by the inequality of

between cities and villages. Many cities of the world

Similarly

As a result

First

, they need to start constructing a strong network of road and transportation that will connect rural areas to urban areas.

Thus goods

and other materials can be transported efficiently and the economy and trade would flourish more.

Second

, the government should give subsidy to business people to establish factories and industries in the rural areas.

will create more job opportunities at the footstep of villagers, and

thus

improve their living standards.

Thirdly

, banks should give easy loans to farmers to invest in the crops and get better yield at the time of harvest. Above all, more facilities

such

as colleges, hospitals and playgrounds should be created in rural areas so people living there do not need to migrate to a

city

for a better living. To conclude, it is evident that world’s cities have gone through a rapid progression in terms of trade and

This

contributed to many major metropolitan problems. But, these problems can be reduced to a greater extent, when both the government and private sectors make effort to divide funds and facilities between cities and villages.
