More people is moving to the big city to live and work. What are the reasons and results of this trend?

There has been a phenomenon that more and more people are moving to big

cities

to live and work. Some say

such

a trend brings about a negative result; some have the opposite opinions. I think there are some reasons behind is, and they will be explained in the following paragraphs.

First

, there are more job opportunities in big

cities

. As we know, due to technological development, the whole world is more globalized.

Therefore

, there are hundreds and thousands of new jobs that are formed and most of them take place in big

cities

.

Besides

, most big and international companies are constantly located in megacities;

hence

, if young people are seeking well-paid jobs,

then

big

cities

have more chances than small towns. It's worth mentioning that working in megacities is advantageous to the younger generation to gain working experience.

For instance

, the quality of your colleagues might be better, and you can learn countless new things,

such

as dealing with international clients, from them.

Second

, big

cities

are more international and convenient. Take me as an example. I lived in a small town in Germany for two years; all my neighbours could only speak German, and there were only some traditional German restaurants;

hence

, my life wasn't idyllic there. My living standard improved a lot after I moved to Amsterdam because there are innumerable exotic restaurants, and life is convenient here; public transport can take you to your wished destination, and supermarkets open on Sunday.

However

,

this

trend might have some negative impacts.

For instance

, causing an unbalanced development. It's commonplace that big

cities

are consistently attractive to young people. Not only because of all the lucrative occupations but

also

for opening eyes.

Nevertheless

, should the younger generation move to big

cities

, the development in rural areas can be worsened.

As a result

, these areas can be even poorer. In conclusion, these are two main reasons and one result of

this

trend.
