Overpopulation of urban areas has led to numerous problems. Identify two serious ones and suggest ways to resolve these problems.
It is undeniable that urban areas are getting more densely populated these days, and several concerns are arisen because of
this
. Among all these problems, unemployment and the ageing of society are two that definitely need to be encountered seriously. In Linking Words
this
essay, I will delve into both in detail, and propose possible approaches to tackle them.
Linking Words
To begin
with, a direct outcome of the increase in population is the increase in cities' unemployment rates. In recent years, city populations are growing drastically while the total number of job opportunities is only increasing at a rather steady pace. Linking Words
As a result
, on average more potential applicants compete for one job, and because of Linking Words
this
, it becomes more difficult to be employed. Linking Words
For instance
, statistics show that the number of new graduates in China has almost doubled in the Linking Words
second
decade of the 21st century leading to a much higher unemployment rate compared to the Linking Words
first
. Linking Words
Therefore
, how to ensure more people get occupations is to be considered.
Another problem caused by overpopulation is that more elders have to be taken care of, which demands more resources Linking Words
such
as the labour force and places to live. Take those major cities in China as examples, the proportions of people in their retirement have increased significantly over the past five years, but there are not enough facilities to take after all of them. Linking Words
Consequently
, the ageing problem is another issue.
To conclude, the aforementioned two issues are direct consequences of overpopulation that can be easily identified. What can be done to deal with them? From my point of view, the most suitable method is that the government to devote more efforts and resources to developing rural areas. Linking Words
Firstly
, more budget should be distributed to create more jobs in rural areas and make more people coming. Linking Words
Secondly
, many rural places suffer less from environmental pollution and are desirable for living, which for sure would ease the ageing problem in cities.Linking Words
