A rise in the standard of living in a country often only seems to benefit cities rather than rural areas. What problems can this cause? How might these problems be reduced?

Urban cities benefit during a rise in a nation's average income and community purchasing power, while country cities do not experience the same. The paragraphs below will outline why an increase in society's average earnings can augment basic good prices and limit the population's access to some services, and how the government and each individual can help reduce the damage.

To begin

with, when it comes to an increase in the average wealth of society, the main issue would be a rise in the base price of products. Following the law of supply and demand, as capitals have major populations and larger employability rates, prices in the industry of these locations would become higher, harming nearby regions that are often supplied by these capitals. Another problem is that wages in rural areas are meagre than in urban ones. In many, a minimum salary cannot afford the basic necessities to maintain a decent quality of life,

hence

, diminishing a part of the community's access to some services and products.

However

,

although

this

situation is inevitable since most nations' economical goal is to turn their currency internationally stronger, there are some attitudes that could be implemented to contour and ameliorate

this

issue that rural areas experience.

First

of all, the government could use public policies to assist these regions.

For instance

, in Brazil, there is a monetary aid given to professionals whose salaries did not embrace the basic needs,

such

as a basic food basket and a house rent.

Secondly

, the population should learn about financial awareness. Economists suggest that individuals should start exchanging expensive products for more affordable ones with the same utility,

thus

, avoiding unnecessary waste of resources. To conclude, the rising prices and the financial limitation of the community to consume high-quality merchandises are some of the problems that result from the rise in the standard of living. In spite of that, the implementation of public policies and a change in purchasing habits of the population can contour

this

issue.
