The recording of the research release event "Youth and changing rural regions in the Nordic countries. An overview of history and research priorities" is now available
Postdoctoral
Researcher Lauri Julkunen's study Youth and changing rural regions in the
Nordic countries: an overview of history and research priorities summarises
previous research and historical knowledge on rural youth across four Nordic
countries, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark from the early 20th century to
the 2020s.
The review is part of the project The Future of Nordic Youth in Rural Regions: A Cross-national Qualitative Longitudinal Study in four Nordic Countries (2022–2025), which aims to generate knowledge on the lives, experiences, and perceptions of young people living in various sparsely populated and rural areas. One of the aims of the project is to place the challenges facing rural regions today in a broader historical context. The study has been funded by the Future Challenges in the Nordics - People, Culture and Society -programme, which funds humanities and social science research in areas that pose major challenges for the Nordic societies in the 21st century.
