In many countries, 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?

Although

the migration of rural inhabitants to urban

areas

in several countries is thought by some to be a useful change for the migrants, other

people

consider that a reduction in the

number

of

people

in rural

areas

can be harmful. In my opinion, I think that moving rural

people

to cities can bring out more problems for both

and towns compared to any benefits it might bring. Admittedly, there are some basic advantages of leaving villages.

Firstly

, there is predicted to remain more resources for those who don't leave the

. Take

for example

water and farms, remaining rural inhabitants might benefit from enough water sources and more farmlands if other populations of the village migrate to the cities. They,

as a result

, could have more jobs and income in their own places.

Secondly

, rural migrants may have more chances to enjoy infrastructure. What

this

means is that some

Nevertheless

, despite the positive points above, I believe that underpopulation of rural

areas

causes serious drawbacks. One obvious issue is that the production of organic vegetables is likely to decrease.

As a consequence

, vegetables and fruits which are planted by machinery tools are less delicious and healthy. One potentially dangerous disadvantage is that overpopulation in towns leads to an increase in the

number

of unemployment.

That is

because the

number

of migrants grows more than the

number

of job positions created in urban

areas

. Another negative point to consider is that cities will be more polluted if the

number

of citizens rises unpredictably.

This

affair,

moreover

, causes the destruction of infrastructure and ,

for instance

, public transportation. In conclusion, weighing up both sides of the argument, I would say that the disadvantages of decreasing population in rural

areas

outweigh any of the minor benefits

such

as providing probable equipment and opportunities.
