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 recent years, many rural people have travelled to live in

cities

, and the

population

in the suburbs, towns and villages has significantly decreased. From my point of view,

this

phenomenon has more negative impacts on civilization and development than benefits. On the one side, when rural residents move to

cities

it causes many problems

such

as increasing

population

density

in

cities

, which leads to increased garbage that cannot be managed by the government. To illustrate

this

, New York City’s

population

density

is around 20 million residents, and

also

it has the highest rate of rubbish pollution in streets around the whole city,

according to

that the authorities cannot manage

this

large number of rubbish every day. On the other side, overpopulation in

cities

has a negative effect on the labour market. People move to

cities

because they want a good chance of getting jobs and facilities which are overcrowded lead to unemployment and could lead to serious problems in the future.

For instance

, Delhi, the capital city of India has the largest unemployment rate reaching 90%

due to

population

density

Indian people recently suffered from poverty and famine. In conclusion, the majority of rural residents are moving to

cities

which leads to the

population

in rural areas dropping dramatically.

However

, from my perspective that has the downside risks because urban

population

density

causes serious problems

such

as pollution and unemployment,

thus

the collapse of civilization.
