“…The extent to which these two trends are connected is the subject of much debate, in addition to the more vexed question of the direction of causality. On the one hand, economic growth -if accompanied by an expansion in employment -attracts immigrants, thus boosting the population (Champion et al 1996;Clark and Murphy 1996;Fielding 1997;Zak et al 2002). On the other hand, a rising population can enhance economic growth by restraining wage inflation, meeting labour shortages, increasing demand for goods and services and may expand the pool of potentially skilled and entrepreneurial individuals (Clark and Murphy 1996;Crenshaw et al 1997;Wrigley 2004).…”

Attracting in-migration of the creative class has been argued by Florida (2002) to be a route to higher economic growth in the era of the knowledge economy. This paper critically evaluates this proposition in relation to old industrial regions using the example of Scotland. The paper presents an assessment of, in the first instance, to what extent there is a shortage of skilled, talented and entrepreneurial individuals and, in the second instance, whether a talent attraction strategy alone can hope to attract such people to Scotland. It is proposed that for most migrants the availability of appropriate economic opportunities is a prerequisite for mobility. However, despite uncertain evidence that place attractiveness is a catalyst to mobility among the so-called creative class, this is not a reason for dismissing talent attraction programmes. Instead it is argued that talent attraction programmes have the potential to contribute to old industrial economies, but their success will be greatest when talent attraction is carefully targeted and based on economic realities rather than the marketing of ethereal conceptions of place attractiveness.

“…The ageing of rural populations (Champion, Mønnesland and Vandermotten 1996), changing family structures and the growing economic necessity for many middle-aged rural women (often the primary care-giver) to enter the nondomestic workforce compound the problems of rural care-giving, reducing the available pool of non-spouse carers. Rural communities can also find themselves with limited professional care services.…”

Location or dis-location? Towards a conceptualization of people and place in the care-giving experience

Over the last two decades we have seen an increased interest in informal care within both political and academic communities in the UK. This has stemmed in large part from an increased emphasis on the home-space as the preferred site of care provision and a resultant increase in the complexity of the care-giving relationship. The explicitly spatial dimensions of this caring relationship, however, are vastly under-researched. This paper represents one attempt to redress the gap by examining the importance of place, and its conceptualization, in the care of frail older people. In doing so, the paper focuses, firstly, on the spatial manifestation of care at various scales, identifying some of the processes behind variations in the care-giving experience and, secondly, using the example of dementia care, it considers how Augé's concepts of anthropological place and non-space, when applied to domestic and institutional care settings, can facilitate a more nuanced understanding of the importance of people and place in the construction and delivery of care to frail older people.

“…Another study by Champion et al (1996, Figure 10) presented a graph of the relationship between net migration rates and regional population density for all of Europe. Migration rates were averaged for eight density classes, and regional population density was used in lieu of size.…”
