These days more people from rural areas have choose to move to cities. They may believe that they are more like to live in a high standard life and find well-paid employment, but the movement of population (demographic change) to urban areas can cause some problems.
There are two main reasons why these people make this choice. Firstly, cities are more densely populated and there are more job opportunities available, so they may earn more money. This means that they can improve living standards and afford consumer goods than ever before. By contrast, employment opportunities are scares in rural, due to the fact that many industries are underdeveloped and many inhabitants' buying power is limited. Another reason is that city dwellers have easy access to public services, including education and health care, and enjoy better standards of living. Young couples who used to live in the countryside intend to send their children to good schools in urban areas, so as to break the cycle of poverty.
The increasing number of urban dwellers can put huge pressure on housing and facilities in cities. Some cities are unable to accommodate a large population because the shortage of land. Many migrants end up living in slums and enduring poor living conditions, because they can not afford home ownership. All city dwellers are prone to poor health because urban facilities fail to meet the growing demand for clean water, dispose household waste effectively.
Another problem associated with the rural-to-city shift is that the rural-urban income disparity will grow instead of diminishing. Young generation who are energetic, hardworking, creative and ambitious prefer to go to the cities seeking for educational and employment opportunities. The shortage of workforce has become a problem in rural communities and it is not easy to flourish the local economy. In cities, young generation may choose to commit crimes because of the widening gaping between rich and poor.
In conclusion, poor employment prospects and sluggish local economies have caused the population shift in cities. That is a worrying trend.
