Winners & Losers
For a researcher, it is quite evident that big
cities are hard to beat in the attraction contest, both in the global and national arenas.
Aro observes that the recipient of the ongoing brain leakage is often the “growth triangle” formed by Helsinki, Turku and Tampere, or, alternatively, the large or medium
university towns out there. During this decade, only one in four municipalities has
gained in the migration roulette – with the
majority as the losers.
“Furthermore, looking at the migration
streams of the young and educated, they are
becoming constantly more focused to fewer
and fewer areas,” says Aro. This will create
entire communities filled with likeminded,
young professionals, who pretty soon would
not dream of going anyplace else.
