“…The challenge for newcomers in forming meaningful social connections, and its primary importance for medium-long-term retention, has been identified in other rural health workforce studies [13,48,59], as well as studies investigating the relocation experience of workers (and their families) in other sectors [62,63]. In a qualitative study investigating spouses' experiences of frequent relocations due to their partner's employment in the mining industry, all the participants described their biggest challenge as being 'making friends and social activities' [62] (p. 278).…”

People living in rural places face unique challenges due to their geographic isolation and often experience poorer health outcomes compared to people living in major cities. The struggle to attract and retain an adequately-sized and skilled health workforce is a major contributing factor to these health inequities. Health professionals’ decisions to stay or leave a rural position are multifaceted involving personal, organisational, social and spatial aspects. While current rural health workforce frameworks/models recognise the multidimensional and interrelated influences on retention, they are often highly complex and do not easily support the development of strategic actions. An accessible evidence-informed framework that addresses the complexity but presents the evidence in a manner that is straightforward and supports the development of targeted evidence- and place-informed retention strategies is required. The ‘Whole-of-Person Retention Improvement Framework’ (WoP-RIF) has three domains: Workplace/Organisational, Role/Career and Community/Place. The necessary pre-conditions for improving retention through strengthening job and personal satisfaction levels are set out under each domain. The WoP-RIF offers a person-centred, holistic structure that encourages whole-of-community responses that address individual and workforce level needs. It is a significant response to, and resource for, addressing avoidable rural health workforce turnover that rural health services and communities can harness in-place.

“…Younger rural NEETs' high rates also reflect specific school-to-work transition challenges in the countryside. School systems in rural areas on different continents struggle with greater infrastructural deficits, paired with lower capacities to attract high quality teachers (Reagan et al, 2019). Alongside this, available curricula (particularly in the vocational training field) is often unmatched with local resources and promising economic opportunities.…”

Scrutinising the Exceptionalism of Young Rural NEETs: A Bibliometric Review

The situation of rural NEETs aged 15 to 24 remains understudied. However, transitions from adolescence to emerging adulthood are very demanding for those in the countryside. Our paper discusses this gap by characterising the scholarship focusing on rural NEETs. We undertook a bibliometric review based on 325 entries on Web of Science (WoS) using the Bibliometrix analysis package. Our approach included descriptive bibliometric analysis, co-citation networks assessment, and thematic analysis. Our findings show that the investigation efforts depicting younger rural NEET are recent and marginal in the larger context of international NEETs scholarship. The field is dominated by economy- and sociology-led networks. Concerns regarding health and employment issues are central in international publishing trends, showing a dominant youth-at-risk approach to this group. Still, themes associated with adolescent NEETs and relevant programs’ assessment are gaining traction. Our findings show a need for funding research initiatives to reduce the invisibility of young rural NEETs.

“…A study in rural Texas explored how TLs advocated for ELs while attempting to make connections between pedagogy and the value of place (Bustamante, Brown, & Irby, 2010) and demonstrated the pivotal role that rural TLs play in influencing changes that improve the academic achievement of ELs in rural schools. Such connections help support synergy between identity and relationships; that is, when teachers are able to connect with community members, they form the relationships necessary for their teaching situations (Reagan et al, 2019;Reid et al, 2010).…”

The number of English language learners (ELs) across the United States continues to grow, particularly in rural and new destination settings. However, educators remain un- and under-prepared for working with ELs nationally. This article provides findings from a study of one teacher leader professional development program in a rural school district that sought to prepare educators for ELs. We describe the professional development program and the rural context of the district. Findings from this study derive from an online survey of participants. Data reveal that rural educators seek to acquire skills and strategies that go beyond the classroom setting and that enable them to connect with EL families. They also believe that teacher leaders of ELs demonstrate compassion and build social-emotional support networks for themselves as professionals, as well as with EL families.
