ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES ESSAY: SEASONAL AGRICULTURAL LABOR



Every year millions of agricultural laborers leave their villages and set off on a long and uncomfortable journey for places like the Black Sea region to harvest nuts, to Çukurova to pick cotton and to the Aegean region to harvest grapes. This has been continuing for many years and isn’t likely to end in the foreseeable future. However, does this system have as many advantages as is supposed? Write a four paragraph essay discussing the advantages and disadvantages.
