#people #countryside #cities #towns
Nowadays, the exodus from countryside to big cities is a fact among young people.
This
 essay will discuss one of the main problems associated with
this
 phenomenon and suggest a viable solution. The principal problem with migration to cities and town is the social pressure it causes to both sides, to villages that lose their inhabitants and to towns that receive them. On one side, these people often go to
bigs
Suggestion
Bigs
gigs
big
 centres with a dream to pursue a career and become successful.
However
, many of them are unskilled workers,
such
 as peasants and factory workers. The concentration of
unskilled workforce
Suggestion
the unskilled workforce
 leads to unemployment and,
therefore
, the increase of crime and violence rates, due to population
pauperization
the act of making someone poor
pauperisation
. On the other side, only the elderly stay in the countryside and, since they are in majority retired, the decrease in the economic active force inhibits the development of the province. A solution to
this
 worrying problem is encouraging these young people to abide in their hometown, by creating
right conditions
Suggestion
the right conditions
,
such
 as employment opportunities and enhancing
well being
a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous
wellbeing
.
Moreover
, once they stay and work there, the economic situation will be improved and there will be no need to migration anymore.
This
 is one aspect that should be considered by authorities when it comes to government investment in villages and countryside. In conclusion,
although
 the migration of the young workforce to the cities may lead to an important issue,
this
 problem is not insurmountable. In my view, it is the government’s responsibility to tackle these issues, and they should begin by considering the solutions proposed above.
