Farming is difficult because typhoons, floods or droughts can easily destroy
harvests.. If farmers need more money for their family, they must look for other
work. And they think that well-paying jobs are plentiful in the city. Therefore,
they move to urban areas.
However, it is not easy to find a good job in the city. Most of farmers are not
well-trained so they can earn less money a month. Living far from home, they
must pay a number of money for their place and their food. Backing the
countryside to visit theit family also costs money. Once more, these people meet
many difficulties in their life.
