Preferred term

out-migration of youth  

Definition

  • The out-migration of youth and young adults (defined here as those between fifteen and twenty-nine years of age) transformed the United States from a largely rural to an urban society and is similarly serving to change developing nations. Here we examine the extent of such migration, its impacts on the areas of origin and destination of the migrants, and the effects on the migrants' socioeconomic well-being.
