In some countries, governments are encouraging industries and businesses to move to regional areas outside the big cities. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

Hoàng Đăng Nowadays, many governments encourage companies in big cities to relocate to the suburbs or nearby province. In my opinion, the benefits that

this

trend brings still exceed its drawbacks. One benefit is that companies can reduce expenditure. Specifically, the local labour costs are lower than the costs in the

city

.

For example

, a research paper in 2018 shows that many enterprises, which move from the

city

, can cut approximately 3%-5% investment cost.

As a result

, they can increase the income and reinvest in other projects. Another benefit is that the local economy can develop. To be more detailed, thanks to the relocation of companies to areas outside big cities, more local people had a job and many supporting services grew around it.

For instance

, GDP of Bac Ninh has gone up sharply by 10% in the past 3 years since SAMSUNG moved in. Clearly, the living standard of local people will rise and the wealth gap between

and the countryside.

However

, people still state that companies can lack skilled workers. They believe that skilled usually want to live in the

city

. To

this

I would argue that it depends on what they acquire from the company. If the company pays a high salary, a numerous number of fringe benefits, skilled workers will have no reasons to disagree the job. A prime reason is SAMSUNG, despite moving out of the

city, but

they often employ 100-500 skilled workers every year, including even Korean engineers because the salary is usually 50-70% higher than the others. It is obvious that, skilled workers can achieve more benefits than they work in the

city

. In conclusion, the advantages of relocating outside the

city

are clearly more significant than the disadvantages. Moving far from the

city

not only provide companies with reducing spending, but

also

assist the local economy developing.
