In many countries, young people are moving from rural areas to cities to work or study. Why is this happening? What are advantages or disadvantages of this trend?

Nowadays, a lot of people can be seen migrating from remote

areas

to the

city

to either work or study. It is undeniably true that moving from the countryside are proven beneficial ,especially for the development of an individual.

However

, there are some drawbacks as well.

This

essay will address both advantages and disadvantages of

this

idea. The main benefit of moving to the urban

areas

is more job opportunities in the

city

as compared to the rural

areas

.

Furthermore

, the wages offered in the

city

are better than the salary paid in those remote

areas

.

For example

, a study by Seek, a recruiting company, shows that companies located in the

city

or business district pay their staff 30% more as compared to companies located in the agricultural

areas

. As for the study, there is a number of choices of school in the

city

as the government keep building new schools to cater for the population. One possible drawback is the

city

will be crowded and over-populated,

while

the rural

areas

become underdeveloped.

As a result

of fewer people living in the village, the government will start neglecting the need for more facilities and will hesitate to develop the

areas

.

In addition

, there will be fewer work opportunities for village dwellers. They will have no choice but to stay farming.

For instance

,

this

happened in Malaysia, when youngsters and young families start to migrate, and the government will start shutting down a few schools and community halls in the village to save money and electricity.

Consequently

, it will leave no job opportunities for teachers or school staff. In conclusion,

while

relocating to the

city

can be beneficial for modern society, it will contribute to chaos when the

city

becomes overcrowded and simultaneously create less opportunity for the rise of under-developed rural

areas

.
