Mobility Patterns of Young People in Rural Contexts

Mobility Patterns of Young People in Rural Contexts

Youth migration patterns in rural communities remain a significant concern, with increasing levels of youth retention, in-migration, and return being seen as key to longer-term population sustainability. So why not an insightful online panel discussion to engage in discussion on young people's mobility patterns in rural contexts?

Sorry, this event has already happened. Have a look at our upcoming events.

Details

The free online event (11-12.30, 12th June), funded as part of a SEFARI Gateway Specialist Advisory Group, will gather interdisciplinary academics to provide greater insights on:

  • the home and hearth: the influence of rural housing challenges on migration decisions (Dr Ana Vain and Dr Jane Atterton, Scotland's Rural College);
  • the role of social connections in shaping young people's mobility paterns in rural contexts (Dr Emilia Pietka-Nykaza and Dr Rosie Alexander, University of the West of Scotland)
  • and complexities of rural return-related mobilities in the Irish context (Dr Caitriona Ni Laoire, University of College Cork).

Whether you're interested in rural development, migration studies, or youth studies, this event is perfect for you.
