READ.
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 go 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
