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?

Nowadays, it is increasingly prevalent for rural

people

to seek a job in the

city

, which causes a decline in the countryside population. In my view, I think

this

is a positive development because

this

phenomenon can bring many merits. On the one hand, I cannot deny that rural population loss may cause many problems.

Firstly

, a predominant issue is the shortage of labour in the rural areas.

This

is mainly because most young

people

leave their hometowns and acquire a job in the metropolis

city

where they can meet more job opportunities.

Secondly

, it is common for countryside individuals to work alone in a

city

, so there are many rural children who find it difficult to accompany their parents throughout the year.

This

may influence the psychological health of these kids.

However

, reaching the above conclusion does not necessarily mean that the advantages of urbanization can be ignored. For one thing, urbanization is an effective method to improve productivity and economic efficiency, which means a country can utilize less revenue to manufacture more products. For another thing,

people

working in the downtown can

also

improve the environment in the countryside, which will attract more citizens to travel there and bring prosperity to there. Take China,

for example

, with the environmental improvement in rural areas, more

city

residentiaries choose to go there to have a meal or get accommodation at weekends, which assists with villages' development and allures many postgraduates to come back to their hometowns. To summarize,

although

rural

people

moving to cities may cause some problems, I still believe

this

phenomenon is a positive development considering its economic and environmental benefits.
