These days, the process of people moving from rural areas to cities of country
dwellers rose increasingly lead to the resident of countryside fall dramatically.
Although some benefit can be seen from the phenomenon, the drawbacks are more
significant.
This phenomenon have several advantages. Rural population are moving to cities

destiny with a stability work as well as improving quality of lifes. They accept to
leave the countryside with purpose to enrich the families and themselves which
based on their ability. In addition, people living in countryside can extend to
knowledge and development a lot of essential skill so that they deal with the
various challenge in urban life. Therefore, they have a large motivation to explore
mysterious things and hope that they will a better future.

people who living in rural area deal with a lot of expenses must be solved in order
to balance finacial badget. Ensurely, feeling pressure with obstacle in urban
location is the problem of them. For example, buying a expensive house is
definitely impossible for their competence. Secondly, the gradual increase in the
proportion of people living in urban areas lead to at a risk being high
unemployment rates. Finally, with the advent of countryside segment, the problem
of competing interests between each other has caused urban society to lose control
and unnecessary things to happen.
In conclusion, it it true that rural-to-urban migration may bring some advantages
such as improved employment opportunities , I am convinced that the negative
consequences is obviously.
