The Rural-Urban Divide

The rural-urban divide refers to the socio-economic differences between countryside and city areas. Urban regions typically have more access to jobs, healthcare, education, and infrastructure, leading to higher living standards. In contrast, rural areas often face challenges like limited services, lower incomes, and fewer opportunities. This divide can create disparities in quality of life, economic stability, and access to resources, influencing social and political dynamics. Addressing this gap involves improving infrastructure, education, and healthcare in rural areas to promote more balanced development and opportunity distribution.
