In many cities the population is increasing. Some say that the urbanization process denies us knowing our neighbors, and this causes a loss of community sense. What is the main problem with this? What measures can be taken to overcome it?

Urban migration has been a burning topic , especially in

this

contemporary world today that has left many families and societies shuttered. The causes of

this

phenomenon are

due to

several reasons that will be discussed in

this

essay and

also

the measures that government officials can take to reduce their effect on the nation.

To begin

with, there are many problems that are caused by rural-to-urban settlement,

however

, the main one is the issue of exhaustion of resources.

Initially

, employment statistics in countryside areas are low

this

is because of a lack of development schemes that have to do with the infrastructure

that is

meant to provide the residents with stable jobs

thus

leading to a lack of job security within that part of the country,

such

people

then

choose to relocate to the township for greener pastures and better remunerations.

Moreover

, as more and more citizens settle in cities, population demographics tend to escalate leading to overcrowding

as a result

depletion of already scarce resources. To illustrate,

according to

statistics from 2010 in the UK, there was a nearly over 50% population rise in London with most of the immigrants from rural areas in search of work, as

such

the state had to increase its resource allocation in that city to meet up with the increasing numbers as already existing means were facing exhaustion.

On the contrary

, there are measures that can be employed to cater for

such

a problem.

Firstly

, it is the responsibility of the acting authority to come up with a framework that will boost and create jobs in remote areas

such

as opening up ghost buildings,

such

an act will the repercussions of urbanization and make individuals remain in their zone.

In addition

, another plan of action will be to draw up a social security programme that will cater for the less fortunate, the elderly and those out of work.

For example

, the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program in the U.S.—is a program designed to provide partial income for retired adults, jobless and people with disabilities. In conclusion, the main problem

that is

caused by rural-urban migration is the overuse of available systems caused by unemployment which leads to overcrowding resulting in people competing for resources.

However

, measures

such

as job creation project plans and social security programs can be put into place to help reduce the effects .
