Urban Depopulation and Loss of Human Capital: An Emerging Phenomenon in the European Union

Urban Depopulation and Loss of Human Capital: An Emerging Phenomenon in the European Union

By Miguel González-Leonardo, Antonio López-Gay and Joaquín Recaño
Depopulation is no longer a phenomenon exclusive to rural areas. It has now expanded to small and medium-sized towns and cities in outflow regions. Young people in these municipalities, mainly those who are highly educated, are more likely to emigrate to the more thriving metropolitan areas. The departure of qualified young people is not compensated for, either numerically or based on the educational level of people who arrive from other places. This situation gives rise to negative migration balances and processes of educational decapitalisation.
