Migration: Pre-requisite for rural economic regeneration?

Article Abstract:

Data from Scottish case studies pertaining to in-, out-, and return migrants are analyzed and it is illustrated that only by leaving rural area can young adults acquire the necessary skills to participate in endogenous development, but few out-migrants subsequently return. In-migrants possess the necessary human capital to bring about an economic regeneration and are often self-employed, and it is argued that migration is a pre-requisite for rural economic regeneration.

Results of the study demonstrated that natural heritage 'reliant' activities created significant benefits in the local economy and this underlined the importance of recognizing the contribution made by the environment to the economy.
