Rural to urban migration is primarily motivated by the
desire for people in rural areas to have a better life. In some countries, families living in the
countryside had many difficulties such as lack development and support from
government as well as exploitation from rich landlords. Many felt that they were better off if they
could to the city and earn more. The
problem is that mass migration will leave the countryside underdeveloped and it
will not be able to produce materials needed for the businesses found in the
cities. When that happens, job opportunities in the cities become more
difficult and with an influx of a large number of people that will lead to many
problems like unemployment that would lead to poverty and even crime.
