Most studies show that the members of rural communities who are most likely to migrate to urban centers are those who have been to school. The studies seem to show a consistent positive correlation between an individual's level of education his propensity to migrate. REASONS (1) The income gap between what the 'educated' ones can earn in urban areas compared with their rural opportunity cost is larger than it is for the illiterate ones.(2) The educated ones are more likely to obtain a lucrative modern sector job. But because jobs are scarce,a large proportion of those who migrate often remain unemployed.
That's the reality. I once ventured out of my home to the city to find work, and yes, I managed to survive in the city with the job I found. The point is, life in the city is indeed tough. If we aren't disciplined, we can be drawn into things that can make things difficult for us, such as lifestyle. Most people increasingly prioritize lifestyle once they're in the city. The high cost of living makes us realize how harsh the world is.
It's not a lie; the scarcity of employment is a reality, whether in the village or the city. So it's not surprising that even those who go to the city can't find decent work or may even be unemployed.
