In many countries around the world, rural people are moving to cities, so the population in the countryside is decreasing. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

In the contemporary world, more and more

people

choose to leave their hometown and move to the

cities

which leads to rural population decline. Personally, I think

this

urbanization trend should be seen as a negative development. On the one hand, big

cities

always appeal to

people

with

such

things as various career opportunities

and services.

This

is

also

the reason why moving behaviour is not an old-age story. To be specific, a recent study found that half of the migrants in Vietnam (49.8%) move from rural to urban areas.

Cities

like Ho Chi Minh, Ha Noi, and Da Nang have become a magnet to attract

people

from rural areas, primarily driven by the desire for job opportunities and access to essential amenities like healthcare and education.

However

, there are evident issues associated with the migration mentioned.

Firstly

, the population density poses a lot of unwanted consequences. As students and workers pour into the metropolis, there will be a higher demand for accommodations which leads to the higher cost of renting, and living in smaller rooms, and in some cases, those places are not qualified for Fire Fighting and Prevention.

Secondly

, a threat of spreading diseases among individuals living in the

cities

, especially contagious ones.

For example

, the COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected the urban population, because of their living habits, even though they have put all these cautionary protections on. In conclusion, the rural-to-urban migration might include some attractive aspects that

people

would like to pursue. In my opinion, it is vital to recognize the undeniable drawbacks present in

this

trend, particularly in terms of safety and living conditions.
