In many countries, young people are moving from rural areas to cities to work or study. Why is this happening? What are advantages or disadvantages of this trend?

Cities

offer excellent education facilities,

job

opportunities

and a better standard of living.

This

is why the influx of people in

cities

is ever-increasing and young people mostly

move

to

cities

, away from their families, to pursue a better education and to have a

job

. Though there are many advantages to

this

trend, negative sides are

also

there. To commence with, the young generation has to

move

to

cities

to get admitted into better colleges or universities. Evidently,

cities

have more specialised universities while rural

areas

scarcely have

such

facilities.

This

is why parents want their children to study in a college in a city rather than in a village.

of having a

in a remote area while there are plenty of

for

person in a city. I believe that there are more advantages to

this

trend, though the negative consequences should

also

be considered.

First

of all, only a handful of youth would be able to start a career in villages and most of them would eventually be forced to

move

.

This

is because the opportunity and facilities in

cities

are much wider. Unless the government creates new

job

opportunities

for the educated young generation in rural

areas

, forcing them to stay there would be a terrible idea.

On the contrary

, if everyone moves to the

cities

, the rural

areas

will always remain underdeveloped and would lack talented entrepreneurs.

This

would

also

increase the population density and

pollutions

. In conclusion, some professionals, like doctors should be encouraged to work in rural

areas

while professionals like software developers should stay in the city.

However

, the government should take initiatives to build new offices and factories in rural

areas

so that young people can work and stay there.
