In this episode, Slaven Gasparovic and Òscar Prieto-Flores share the lessons learned with the special issue “Lessons on Building More Sustainable Rural Societies: Youth and Mobility” organized by the Rural NEET Youth Network. Rural young people outmigration seems to be one of the main drivers of rural communities brain-draining. One of the important lessons learned has to do with the importance of transportation and distance to big centers as main drivers of youth mobility. Our guests conclude that the patterns of rural youth mobility will become even more fluid, with dominant outmigration fluxes driven by professional development and access to tertiary education being tempered by incoming young people, especially migrants looking for opportunities in agriculture and related activities, in rural areas.
