农村青年向外移徙是一种能够改变农业社区农业面貌的现象。在过去几十年中，菲律宾青年从农村涌入城市地区的现象是前所未有的。本文探讨了这一问题，在菲律宾的两个省，奥罗拉和阿尔拜的水稻种植社区。68名13 - 21岁的农民子女参加了这项研究。本文分析了青年参与农业工作的水平和他们对农业的看法，这最终会影响他们移民或继续农业的决定。父母话语影响青年移民的决定进行了调查。这项研究使用了移动地图，时间断面，photovoice输出，深入和关键的线人访谈，以及小组讨论。虽然移徙意愿很高，但年轻人强烈希望与家庭农场保持联系。因此，决策者最好帮助那些离开农村地区并在一段时间后返回的人。对可能不回农村但愿意投资务农的，要同等关注，让贫困亲属就业。移徙者往往可以筹集到所需的资源，为投入密集型的水稻种植活动提供资金。
Rural youth outmigration is a phenomenon that can change the agricultural landscape of farming communities. The Philippines has witnessed an unprecedented youth exodus from rural to urban areas in past decades. This paper explored this issue in rice farming communities in two Philippine provinces, Aurora and Albay. Sixty-eight farmers' children aged 13–21 years old participated in this research. This paper analyzed the level of youth involvement in farm work and their perceptions on farming, which can ultimately inform their decision to migrate or continue farming. Parental discourses influencing youth decisions to migrate were then investigated. This research used mobility maps, time transects, photovoice outputs, in-depth and key informant interviews, and group discussions. While intentions to migrate were high, young individuals had a strong desire to remain connected to their family's farms. Hence, policymakers would do well to assist those who leave the rural areas and return after some time. Equal attention should be given to those who may not return to rural areas but are willing to invest in farming to employ their poor relatives. Migrants can often raise the resources needed to finance the input-intensive rice farming operations.
