“…Lack of basic public goods in rural areas (such as inadequate infrastructure or healthcare services, or scarce educational opportunities) may act as 'push' factors forcing individuals out of the rural areas (Spoor 2013). For instance, in Russia, vital educational opportunities for young rural inhabitants appear to be very poor when compared to their urban counterparts (Ivolga 2014;Amini & Nivorozhkin 2015). Along these lines, Shibaeva (2010) suggests that the general quality of life in Russian rural areas is commonly perceived to be much lower than in the cities.…”

Urbanisation and the ageing of the rural population contribute to shortages of skilled workers in agricultural sectors worldwide. Migration may potentially alleviate these shortages. This study explores individual decision-making by skilled Russian rural youth with respect to migration, paying special attention to values and attitudes. Using qualitative and quantitative data, we identify major factors that may influence intentions to move abroad. Apart from income differentials, we find that social ties, individual values and attitudes are associated with migration intentions. Agricultural students unwilling to work in agriculture and who dislike the rural lifestyle tend to be motivated to migrate abroad in search of an alternative.

“…Studies also indicate that the scale of educational disproportions between rural and urban areas changes with the level of social and economic development and is higher in developing and transforming countries (Glewwe & Kramer, 2006). Hence, the issue of educational diversification between rural and urban areas is widely discussed in the literature, especially for the reference group of economies (Zhu et al, 2017;Amini & Nivorozhkin, 2015;Agrawal, 2014).…”

Research background: The subject of the study is the disproportionate development of rural and urban areas in terms of human capital in the context of the convergence process. Purpose of the article: The main goal of the study is to assess the rural–urban disparities on the educational attainment of the population (adopted as a human capital proxy), based on the example of Poland. Methods: The Bray-Curtis measure of structures diversity, the Kruskal-Wallis test and regression analysis were applied to investigate the scale and dynamic of the rural–urban educational divide in Poland in the period 1988–2018. Findings & Value added: The paper emphasizes the aspect of rural–urban differences in the Polish economy and their dynamic nature. Studies have revealed that in 1988–2018, in Poland, the disparity in educational attainment between rural and urban populations was gradually reduced. This process, however, was not accompanied by the reduction of internal educational disparities in the rural space. The study results are helpful in verifying the effectiveness of public funds, allocated in recent years in order to accelerate the multi-functional development of rural areas in Poland and other CEE countries.

“…According to recent studies, academic performance differs for students with different social backgrounds. In particular, better results are obtained by students from families with greater cultural capital [Konstantinovskiy 2010;Carnoy, Khavenson, Ivanova 2015] and those living in the major cities [Konstantinovskiy et al 2006;Amini, Nivorozhkin 2015]. Professional teacher characteristics and teaching methods correlate differently with the educational outcomes of such children and those of their peers from families with lower cultural capital [Carnoy et al 2016].…”
