The movements of people from the villages to the cities for work has caused a lots of problems in both places. What are the serious problems associated with this? What measures can be taken to solve these problems?

Migration rates from rural

areas

to urban ones have increased in the

last

years, mostly due to industrialization, which opens new places in the job market.

This

trend has a tremendous impact on civilization.

However

, there is a number of solutions that could prevent those

problems

. Most

people

usually leave their villages in search of better luck, especially in the job field. Unfortunately, the wave of migrating

people

is big enough to ultimately cause overpopulation in the

cities

. The more

people

are coming, the more packed the city is.

Furthermore

, due to overpopulation, other

problems

occur,

such

as noise pollution, or too much traffic, especially during peak hours. In order to tackle

this

problem, the government should be appropriately prepared, as

this

is an ongoing and known issue by now. Their attention should focus on eliminating the

problems

associated with overcrowded places.

For instance

, large parking spots should be available, for the cars not to park on the streets and cause

problems

.

Additionally

, more police force could be placed on busy roads to control possible traffic jams and prevent accidents. Another problem

that is

brought about due to migration to urban

areas

is the desolation of villages. As more and more

people

are moving to the

cities

, the

areas

that are left behind will be empty. If a place has very few residents it will not have

further

development- economical or cultural- and may eventually die out.

For example

, there is a remote island in Greece called Agathonisi, with less than 200 inhabitants, which is disenfranchised and in danger to be forgotten. The most obvious answer to the problem mentioned above is for the government to step up and take some measures. It is

therefore

essential that subsidies should be paid to

people

from villages, in order to be encouraged to stay there and try to build a life.

Consequently

,

this

will work as a financial incentive. To illustrate

this

,

people

in rural

areas

could set up their own business, which will ultimately benefit economically the whole area. To sum up, it is difficult to change

people

’s minds to not move into big

cities

, but we could motivate them to build something of their own in the rural

areas

they live.

Moreover

, even if the migrating percentages continue to increase, effective solutions could be found, to maintain a smooth way of living in

cities

.
