Many people from rural areas are leaving behind their
traditional way of life and moving to the city. They believe
that well-paying jobs are plentiful in the city.
At home on the farm, life is always a struggle with nature.
Typhoons, floods or droughts can easily destroy a harvest
and leave the farmer with little or no money until the
following year. Often farmers look for other work when
they need more money for their family.
The increase in population, however, has led to
overcrowding in many cities. This puts a strain on schools
and hospitals, as well as water and electricity supplies.
Increased pollution is another unpleasant result.
There is also a human side to this tragedy. Families
sometimes have to live apart. In these cases, children may
live at home with relatives, while their parents so and live
in an urban area.
Governments all over the world are trying to provide
facilities for these migrants, but it can be quite a problem.
