People are migrating to urban areas for many reasons, including agricultural technology, industrial technology, and the hope of changing ones economic circumstances.

Agricultural technology has decreased the need for agricultural workers. Improved transportation, tools, fertilizer, and genetically modified crops mean fewer farmworkers harvest more food. This decreased need for farm employment drives many farmworkers into cities in search of jobs.

Industrial technology has created many jobs unique to urban areas. Developing countries often have resource-based economies, meaning most people make their living from agriculture, timber, mining, or other harvesting of natural resources. These natural resources are most often located in rural areas. As developing countries expand the use of industrial technology, they often shift their focus to a service-based economy. Service-based economies use industrial technology to provide finished goods and services to people inside and outside their countries.

India, for instance, is a country where many people practice agriculture in rural areas. As the Indian economy develops, however, more people migrate to urban areas like Bangalore to work in the technology industry. Instead of providing the raw materials (metals) for computer chips to nations like the United States, Indian companies now manufacture the computer chips themselves.

Centers of learning, such as universities, hospitals, and regional government, are usually located in urban areas. Many rural residents travel to cities to take advantage of economic opportunities there.

The cost of living in urban areas is usually much higher than in rural areas. It costs more to rent a house, buy food, and use transportation. For this reason, wages are usually higher in urban areas. The search for higher wages is another reason people migrate from rural areas.

In the United States, rural areas take up about 98 percent of the country but are home to only 25 percent of the population. In Ethiopia, a less-developed country where agricultural jobs are much more common, 87 percent of the people live in rural areas.

I’m from a rural area so it may not be the answer your looking for but, life in a rural area is kinda… dull.

Though don’t get me wrong I’m very thankful for my life and where I live isn’t that bad a problem. It’s just all you think about is how much better your life could be if you didn’t live here. You constantly think over and over how many better things there are in the city. Sure there are some pros but they don’t out way the cons.

Your constantly getting told to do work for other people as people who are older are more respected tell younger and un-experienced kids what to do so they don’t have to do the work. Not gonna lie, parents are lazy but they do try to do whatever they can. I’m constantly doing work for them but it isn’t as bad as most people thing. You kinda grow up that way you know?

We are almost all religious. There isn’t a gay, an atheist, or any other religion conflict where I live. Not saying it’s bad but most people that live where I live are misunderstood. Most people think we hate gays when in reality that’s more what we think. We think what your doing is wrong sure, but the fact remains that we don’t really care what you do. As what you do doesn’t affect me.

I don’t know, you grow up like this and you treat life a lot different. I guess that’s how everyone works. I know this won’t help and that’s fine. I also know not everyone in rural areas have the same position I’m in. But, I am from a very rural area and just trynna help you understand what life in a rural area is like here in the South. Anyway have a good one :D
