This

essay will look into the causes of

phenomena and suggest a possible solution to these issues.

To begin

with, the majority of people migrate to cities is to look for better employment opportunities. As many industries are based in an urban district of the countries, making it a business hub, people in search for livelihood moves there.

For example

, in Pakistan, Karachi is the business capital of the

ecrease in supply.

Similarly

, in big cities, the standard of living like better schools and colleges are available compare to the rest of the countries. Many students move to an urban

city

to better education, which is not available to them in their hometowns.

For example

, In India, many students annually move to Pune, a hub for renowned colleges to pursue their higher education.

This

shift of students moving to Pune has over-populated the town with migrants. The possible solutions to the aforementioned issues would be governments

instead

of concentrating on one particular

city

, as in the case of Karachi. They should invest in other parts of the

country

and uplift their local economies. Invest in projects that would help job seekers to obtain employment in their own

city

, and control the vast migration.

Similarly

, it is a government's responsibility to develop schools and colleges in each part of the countries

instead

of focusing on one region. There should be good colleges in every state for students. To conclude, the reason of overpopulation is very clear, it happened because the government is failing to disturb their economies around the

country

and focused on one particular area

instead

they should develop all their local economies to decrease people's movement.
