Nhiều người từ nông thôn đang bỏ lại cuộc sống truyền thống của họ và di chuyển đến thành phố. Họ tin rằng các công việc được trả lương cao đang dồi dào trong thành phố.
Tại nhà trong nông trại, cuộc sống luôn là sự lạc lõng với thiên nhiên. Bão, lũ lụt hoặc hạn hán có thể dễ dàng hủy hoại mùa màng và để lại cho nông dân ít hoặc không có tiền cho đến năm sau. Thường thì những người nông dân tìm kiếm những công việc khác khi họ cần nhiều tiền hơn cho gia đình họ.
Sự gia tăng dân số, tuy nhiên, đã dẫn đến sự quá tải ở nhiều thành phố. Điều này gây căng thẳng cho các trường học và bệnh viện, cũng như cung cấp nước và điện. Tình trạng ô nhiễm gia tăng là một kết quả khó chịu.
Cũng có một khía cạnh của con người đối với bi kịch này. Các gia đình đôi khi phải sống xa nhau. Trong những trường hợp này, trẻ em có thể sống ở nhà với người thân, trong khi cha mẹ chúng và sống ở khu vực thành thị.
Chính phủ các nước trên thế giới đang cố gắng cung cấp cơ sở cho những người di cư, nhưng có thể là một vấn đề.
