Fewer young people do farming work in rural areas. Why? Should young people be encouraged to do farming work?

#people #work #areas
It is observed that youngsters tend to
work
 in the cities with office
work
 than do agronomy
work
.
While
 there are several reasons contributing to
this
 trend, I firmly believe that it is necessary to attract many more young
people
 into farming. One of the main factors that young adults prefer paperwork over agricultural labour is that the income from farming
work
 is much lower than from white-collar
work
. To be more specific, in Vietnam, a farmer earns about 46 million VND in a year, which is only 3.8 million VND a month, compared to the 8.6 million VND that can be earned by an average office worker.
This
 can be lower
due to
 some risks
such
 as weather conditions, and market demand.
In addition
, doing farming tasks requires a lot of strength to
work
 outdoors all day in harsh weather conditions. Meanwhile, working in offices provides a more comfortable environment with technology
such
 as air conditioning.
However
, I would agree that more young
people
 are needed in farming today.
Firstly
, as the world population continues to grow, the demand for food increases. The agricultural industry plays a vital role in ensuring food security. By working in farming, young
people
 can contribute to meeting the world's food demand.
Secondly
, the advance of technology and the development of new farming methods require a lot of
workforce
Change to a plural noun
workforces

.
Furthermore
 to improve these technologies and methods need more highly educated employees.
Last
 but not least, agriculture is the backbone of many rural economies. By working in farming, young
people
 can contribute to the development of rural communities, providing employment opportunities, and helping to boost local economies. In conclusion, because of the income and the environment, youngsters are keen on working in offices.
However
,
due to
 the increase in the population, agriculture needs more workforce.
