Some young people are leaving the countryside to live in cities and towns, leaving only old people in the countryside. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
Nowadays, it is becoming a trend that 19 to 30-year-olds would like to go to an urban area to live and work, and leaving old
people
in the rural areas because there are more job
opportunities and entertainment in the city
. I firmly believe that young people
relocate to cities which is a more positive development. The reasons are shown in the forthcoming paragraph.
There are some positive development if they move to the city
. firstly
, living in a new city
that is
far away from home, which can improve their independent capacity and develop money management. For example
, young fellows have to look for a place to live and find a job
by themselves, instead
of staying with parents’ house and asking for a job
from their parents. Furthermore
, young people
have more chances to meet new friends in the city
and broaden their horizons. For example
, generally speaking, when they meet the difficulty related to life, job
, and money, parents cannot show up or help them as soon as possible, friends always provide a shoulder to help you, whatever in the mental or physical aspect. Moreover
, there are more entertainments in the city
such
as facilities, clubs, pubs. They can go there after work to get mental release.
However
, there are some disadvantages that leaving elderly folks in the countryside
. Firstly
, Their loneliness of them will increase, which may cause mental problems. In addition
, Some of them cannot take care of themselves, therefore
young people
have to send them to aged care and visit them frequently. Lastly
, the countryside
would like to develop the economy but there is a shortage of labour in the countryside
as young people
move to urban areas.
In summary, this
is a good thing that young people
chase their dream in the big city
, but they still have to take care of elder people
who live in the countryside
. In addition
, the government should think about that how to overcome this
issue of the shortage of workers in the countryside
