#population #cities #people #move #work #opportunities #overpopulation
People
 who are living in rural areas migrate to
cities
 to seek work and new opportunities. The main problem
this
 cause is an increased crime rate and irregular housing and the most viable solution is providing job opportunities in urban areas. Moving to another city for a better life is complicated. They are dreaming to have a well-paid job or having a chance to create their company.
However
, when metropolitan
cities
 get many migrations it can cause serious problems
such
 as burglary and drug trade. Another problem is finding residents to live with. With overpopulation, it is becoming harder to rent houses.
As a result
,
people
 build houses on arable lands.
For example
, in Turkey, we had a serious earthquake lately and houses which were destroyed were built in inconvenient places. To tackle these problems government need to take action. They have to invest in those areas to solve job problems. When they are developing these urban
cities
,
people
 will not leave the place they are living.
Moreover
, Funding those
people
 namely farmers will use that money to do farming and it will be beneficial for those
people
as well as
 the government.
For instance
, in Turkey banks are giving farmers special bank rates to encourage cultivation. In conclusion, moving to big
cities
 to have desired life and new chances can cause troubles like crimes and inappropriate housing.
Nevertheless
, states have to take consideration improving life quality and funding farmers.
