Existing research on geographic mobility and educational or career transitions has largely concentrated on voluntary moves or international migration, leaving limited attention to the sub-national mobility of children from military families. This article addresses this gap by examining the experiences of younger students who relocate frequently within national borders due to parental military service, drawing on qualitative research with these ch…
Reconceptualising Scottish Island Youth Migration
Youth outmigration has long been construed as a significant problem for Scotland's islands. In common with other islands across the world, the ‘brain drain’ of young people is understood to put significant strain on the population and economic sustainability of island communities. Declining population levels, and / or demographic imbalances create risks for longer term sustainability. More specifically, it is understood that shrinking working age…
Who returns? Understanding experiences of graduate return to rural island communities
High levels of out-migration of young people from rural and island communities has provoked significant concern around experiences of “brain drain”. However, recent research has shown that many young people who leave rural communities hold intentions or aspirations to return to their communities in the future.

This paper presents a specific case study of internal migration in the UK context, focusing on young people from two island communities as they move through higher education and into the working world. The paper is specifically f…
