The project addresses the Priority Goal of 'Strengthening Australia's social and economic health' in seeking a more precise understanding of the causes and actual migration pathways of Australian rural youth, and the extent to which these migrants return to their home regions. This understanding is critical for future key service delivery planning (e.g. health, including aged care), for labour force development planning (e.g. likely local demand for TAFE places). Relatedly, the project's findings should enable more reliable regional population projections and estimates and facilitate the development of locally-specific strategies to both retain rural youth and attract ex-migrants back.

该项目致力于“加强澳大利亚的社会和经济健康”的优先目标，寻求更准确地了解澳大利亚农村青年的原因和实际迁移途径，以及这些移民返回家乡的程度。这一理解对于未来的关键服务提供规划(例如，保健，包括老年护理)、劳动力发展规划(例如，当地对TAFE名额的可能需求)至关重要。与此相关的是，该项目的调查结果应该能够进行更可靠的区域人口预测和估计，并促进制定针对当地的战略，既留住农村青年，又吸引前移民回流。
