Millennial exodus from the cities to the regions ramps up

Published

on

The allure of a more affordable life in regional towns has led to a significant migration trend, as both millennials and migrants opt to leave the bustling city in search of new opportunities.

Recent census data spanning the period from 2016 to 2021 shows that over 169,000 individuals made the transition from Melbourne to regional towns across Australia, with more than 117,000 choosing to establish themselves in various parts of Victoria, reports the Herald Sun.

Notably, this exodus from Melbourne was most pronounced among Millennials and individuals born overseas, with both demographic groups experiencing a surge in departures from the city.

Data compiled by the Regional Australia Institute (RAI) has pinpointed the most coveted destinations for those embarking on a “sea change” or “tree change” to be Geelong, Ballarat, and Bendigo, with Geelong standing out as the top choice, attracting an impressive 41,583 newcomers.

Leaving the urban sprawl

According to Liz Ritchie, the CEO of RAI, the allure of regional living can be attributed to several factors that entice individuals away from the urban sprawl. She noted, “Their desire to live in regional Australia can be partly attributed to the strong job market in rural areas, as well as the enviable lifestyle benefits, such as a reduced cost of living and more living space.”

Ritchie added, “Millennials and the overseas-born population bring with them high levels of skill and education. Contrary to previous notions, we can debunk the myth that young people from regional areas migrate to the city for further education and employment opportunities and never return.”

In a heartfelt plea, Russian women have taken to the streets demanding the safe return of their loved ones from the Ukrainian front.

The conflict in Ukraine has stretched on for years, and the toll on families has been immense. Mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters are uniting to call for an end to the fighting and the return of their men.

The women, often referred to as the “mothers of the front,” are growing increasingly frustrated with the ongoing conflict. They argue that their husbands, sons, and brothers have been away for far too long, and the human cost of the war is simply too high.

With no clear resolution in sight, their calls for peace and reconciliation are becoming more urgent.

This grassroots movement has sparked a national conversation in Russia, with many questioning the government’s handling of the conflict.

While the official stance has been to support the separatist forces in Ukraine, these women are highlighting the personal tragedies and broken families left in the wake of the war. Their determination to bring their loved ones home is palpable.
