More and more people from the countryside are moving to the city with the
hope that they can have a better life. They want to improve their living conditions
and quality of life. They think that well-paid jobs are available there. In fact, life in
the city is a hard struggle to earn a living. Finding a job is quite a problem and they
have to work hard from morning till night.
The city does not offer as many opportunities as they expect, but they do not
want to return to the countryside where natural disaster such as typhoons, floods,
droughts can take their harvest away and leave them with little or even nothing.
This has led to many problems that governments all over the world are trying to
solve: Shortage of water and electricity supplies, overcrowded hospitals and
schools, housing conditions and so on.
