numbers. In fact, other than civilians the living and working in the big metropolis, numerous citizens residing in the desolated areas are moving towards the city to work in industries. Though it can be advantages for them as they secure a career in these enterprises, detrimental effects follow

as overcrowding of space and retrenchment during difficult times can affect their lives. Certainly, people living in rural areas move into the capital in hopes of searching for better jobs. Many travel out of their community to earn for a living as well as to support their family living at home. To exemplify, in Indonesia, there are several villages and farms located in these places where city-goers seldom visit. To earn a living, villagers painstakingly grow crops before yielding the harvest, which is

sold in the downtown markets.

However

, being a farmer does not obtain a commission much as he earns the bare minimum. Indeed, some make losses as the production cost is often more than the amount of food sold in their businesses.

Thus

actions result in consequences, impacting harshly on the job-seekers from the villages. Undeniably, the modernised areas will face overcrowding issues, leading to an increase in crime rates.

For instance

, during the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the

Similarly

, countries with more citizens will face higher rates of retrenchment, resulting in many who are jobless, looking for other means to support their family. Ultimately, residents shifting to the cities are henceforth affected, unable to afford the expensive household monthly bills. To sum up, it is revealed that
