Unemployment is now considerable in many towns and informal sector opportunities (including market trade, food and betel nut selling and cleaning) cannot absorb growing population numbers. Low incomes and large household sizes have posed problems. Though many migrants have achieved success, social problems, with domestic violence and family breakdown have sometimes occurred away from kin support and the 'subsistence safety net' of rural areas. Crime has worsened, creating a new security industry, raising the costs of business development and straining the judicial system. Socio-economic inequalities have grown. Health and nutrition are sometimes poor in town where low incomes, poor access to gardens and the rise of a 'junk food' industry exist. Service provision (water, sewerage, electricity, waste removal etc.) is sometimes inadequate, especially in the squatter settlements that exist in marginal areas (such as remote, swampy or steeply sloping land). Housing is costly, low-cost housing scarce and rents are high. Urban land is increasingly scarce, whether for housing, industrial development, recreation or open space. Land tenure issues complicate urban management and planning as customary land remains in or close to most towns. Land use plans are therefore difficult to construct whilst town planning remains in its infancy. Population densities are very high in some towns, especially in Micronesia, whilst lack of land has made waste disposal a problem. There is little recycling and a scarcity of landfill sites, especially in atoll environments. Many urban rivers and coastal lagoons are polluted and water supplies contaminated, posing threats to health.

Urbanization refers to the increasing population concentration in urban areas, often driven by migration from rural regions in search of better economic opportunities and living conditions. Two significant problems associated with rapid urbanization are overcrowding, which can lead to strained infrastructure and inadequate housing, and environmental degradation, as urban expansion often results in pollution and loss of green spaces. Additionally, rapid urbanization can exacerbate social inequalities, creating challenges in access to essential services like education and healthcare.
