Project description

Our research aims to identify aspects that hinder social equality among young people in rural areas and highlight aspects that can mitigate social inequality, as there is a need for visionary views on the future of work and life in rural areas in a digital era. The digital society should make it possible to live and work in rural areas on equal terms with more densely populated areas. Key question is: can we participate fully in society and have access to the necessary services independent of where we live?
