Nor is it because other young adults are moving into the area. For every 100 youths who leave a rural community, only seven youths intend to move there. Why? They feel it is to their economic advantage to live outside a rural area. non-rur- Uncovered by study These facts were uncovered by the Utah State University Sociology department in cooperation with the Utah State Board of Education. A surveyed 2,500 Utah high school seniors in 1975 to identify their intentions to migrate. We found that rural communities are losing their youth at a greater rate than communities. But rural youths are more likely to stay somewhere in Utah. Fifteen percent of the non-rurgraduates intend to leave the state whereas only 10 percent of the rural graduates indicate such a preference, explains Michael Toney, USU sociologist in charge of the study. He was assisted by Yum Kim and William Stinner. areas have an unbalanced age structure since there is an absence of a substantial ber of young adults. Unfavorable for Rural Areas The trade-of- f between rural, urban and metropolitan sectors of the state is very unfavorable for the rural areas. Of those 758 graduates who said they intend to spend most of their lives out of their home communities, only three percent intended to live in a rural area of Utah. The areas will receive 62 percent of the migrants and other states about 35 percent, Toney says. Rural areas still seem to be troubled by a heavy outflow of their youth. The of youth who are very satisfied with nearly every aspect of their personal and social life in the rural area reflects the lack of economic opportunity. While youth often have a choice of jobs in their home community and stay, the rural youth seldom has the choice." Toney points out another problem from rural areas. non-rur- non-rur- is lf non-rur- ting shows, as many suspect, migrants to be more highly motivated than those that remain, then many of the youth who remain may be less vigorous and adventurous than those who leave, Toney says. proper distribution of population with rspect to employment opportunities and resources is achieved. Others look at contemporary society and correlate the and rate of change with the amount of migration. A society in whiqji there is no migration would become stagnant. This is not necessarily bad. It just means the society is frozen. Most researchers believe Still Face Old Problem "In any case, this study indicates that even with rural communities growing, they still face the old problem of holding their own youth or attracting new youth," he says. There are many reasons we study migration. Many sociologists believe migration is one of the most important agents in causing social change. When we look at the times in human history when great amounts of social change have taken place, we also find great amounts of migration, Toney says. It is through migration a have a significant proportion of to provide stability and a substantial number of migrants to contribute innovations and change, he says. But, if you consider youth the rejuvenating force of the community, their exodus could mean a perpetuation of negative things within the community. Many think youth might be the most important force in creating social change. Therefore, rural communities are losing their youth are, in a sense, losing one of their most valuable resources, Toney says. expected in 1976. The unemployment rate, which dropped sharply in 1976, to 5.6 percent in December, probably will remain near that level throughout most of the year. The construction industry can look forward to another strong t0r It the healthiest communities ts & V al al Since the first U.S. census is to 1970, rural communities have lost population. But we have recently seen a reversal in this trend which was totally unsuspected. Since 1970, rural areas in the 1790, U.S. are among the fastest growing places, Toney says. This general trend is true in Utah, too.1 Between 1970 and 1975, no county in Utah lost population, whereas 13 of the 14 rural counties had lost population between 1960 and 1970. Who is causing this groWth? Since youth had contributed in greatly to the the past, some thought the repopulation or rural areas might be due to youth remaining in the rural areas.

It didnt matter if DS rural youths felt a part of the community, had lived there long or what type of relationship they had with their parents. Rural youths were more apt to migrate.
