Young People Making It Work: Continuity and Change in Rural Places

Focusing on a generation's experiences in rural Australia, this book explores how young people have navigated significant social, economic, and environmental changes over the past two decades. It highlights narratives of belonging and connection to their communities, challenging perceptions of rural life as merely disadvantageous. By examining participants from a longitudinal study who are now in their late thirties, the authors reveal the impact of family and place on their life choices, offering insights applicable to youth transitions in various contexts.
