“…Stasiak (1992) and Tremblay (2001) report an ageing of the local population resulting from the selective outflow of young adults. Lonsdale and Archer (1998) refer to a 'child drought' in their US study, while Copus and Crabtree (1996) observe a small proportion of the population of rural Scotland in the 20-39 year age group. This selective out-flow (Stockdale 2002a) involves the loss of much needed human and social capital from the donor community at a time when an endogenous approach to rural development is advocated.…”

“…Similarly, research from further afield stresses the continued importance of rural depopulation. For example, Lonsdale and Archer (1998) argue that depopulation remains a pervasive feature in many counties of the United States, while Nickels and Day (1997) focus on the process in Texas, and Goetz and Debertin (1996) identify a resumption of out-migration from the West Corn Belt during the 1990s following an earlier period of repopulation.…”

The decision–making processes involved at various stages in the out–migration of individuals from remote parts of rural Scotland are examined. Some two hundred migrants, now residing throughout the United Kingdom, were traced using a variety of means. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were incorporated so that the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches complement and counterbalance each other. The investigation focuses on the changing role of family and other networks at each stage. It is found that there is a general expectation and acceptance of the need for young adults to leave rural areas. Initially, individual migrants benefit from the role of immediate or extended family and social networks, although the individual is not always conscious of their role. With time away from the home area these networks decline in importance, only to re–emerge later in life. At this stage the individual is more likely to be a benefactor than a beneficiary in the process.

“…Many rural regions are potential candidates: the Lower Mississippi Delta, central Appalachia, the Upper Midwest, northern New England, the western portions of the Corn Belt, the Pacific Northwest, and central Alaska (Lonsdale and Archer 1998). West Virginia coal, Minnesota iron, Michigan automobiles, Oregon timber, Illinois and Louisiana farm towns and their surrounding areas have all recorded serious population and economic losses.…”
