Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Taking its lead from calls to change attitudes of Nova Scotians, this research explores the motivations, experiences, and contributions of young people who are bucking the trend of youth out-migration and rural population decline, and choosing rural lifestyles. Looking beyond the migration decision to what has happened since the move, migrants reveal opportunities to leverage existing human and social capital and to attract and retain young people. Connections between youth and community wellbeing have been identified through the recognition of youth out-migration as a symptom and cause of rural decline, and the presence of young people as an indicator of community success. While the economic impact of in-migrants has been studied in various contexts, their potential holistic contributions to wellbeing warrant further research. This research found that young people were aware of their importance to the future of the community in maintaining services such as local schools, replacing aging volunteers, and bringing the energy of youth more broadly. This presentation will provide an overview of the results of this research from two communities in Nova Scotia, as well as potential lessons learned and next steps for policy makers, community members, and researchers in attracting and retaining young people in rural communities.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
