Finding a Place in the World: Understanding Youth Outmigration from Shrinking Rural Communities

This event will feature the public launch of the SSHRC Knowledge Synthesis Report, Finding a Place in the World: Understanding Youth Outmigration from Shrinking Rural Communities, by Dr. Karen Foster and Hannah Main, and a keynote address from Dr. Ray Bollman (Statistics Canada, retired) entitled Rural Outmigration: A Look at Some Numbers.  In addition to her position as Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Rural Futures in Atlantic Canada, Dalhousie University, Dr. Karen Foster is a Researcher with the Centre for Local Prosperity.
“Communities, their governments, and subject experts recognize that youth out-migration demands some kind of directed action … but there is, as yet, no co-ordinated response, or even a consensus about what, if anything, should be done.” — Dr. Karen Foster
