Of course, everyone knows that there are a lot of job opportunities in the city and in a developed country. Down here in my country, people are not just moving from rural area to urban area to look for jobs. The ones in the urban areas are traveling overseas to a better country where there are more job opportunities than in my country. It's a norm since people need to plan a better life for their family.

Cases like this do happen a lot, including in my environment too and not only with young people but with those who are married, there are also those who go out of the village or even abroad just to work and meet the needs of their families. This may happen because the situation is difficult so they have no choice but to go to the city to look for work and earn money and then support their families, but not a few also fail to migrate, sometimes they are also unemployed because it is difficult to get a job.

And indeed, it all depends, and not everyone who migrates to urban areas is lucky, except for those who immigrate and find work through insiders, who will certainly get jobs and salaries that are much higher than those who work in rural areas.
However, what we must understand, and in my experience, especially for those who work in urban areas and remain in rural areas, is that they really have to struggle when going to work in the dark and returning in the dark again because of the long distance and other risks involved. Another reason is that if they have to rent a room or boarding house, their expenses will be much higher, as will expenses for food and other necessities. But in the end, their income remains the same as working in the countryside, which ultimately leads them to give up and end up working in the countryside.
So it all depends on the truly fortunate, especially those who have very large salaries that allow them to remain comfortable and still have a significant amount of money left over after paying for boarding and other expenses.
