The migratory behaviour of young people and remote regions
This study on the interregional migratory behaviour of young people focuses on the six regions of Quebec known as “remote regions.” Four are located north of the St. Lawrence River and two to the southeast. However, the migratory dynamics explored in this study reflects that of the whole province. The main data are drawn from the demographic studies of the Institut de la statistique du Québec, mainly those for 2018–2019. The research question is inspired by Castells’ work on the networked society: in a context where physical and virtual means of communication have become more efficient, is the interregional migration of young people from remote regions becoming a positive element in a circuit of networked societies? Building on this question, what other avenues could be explored in future studies?
