Overview of the Northern Economy

Statistics Norway has pulled together a survey of the Arctic economy.  The report was edited by Solveig Glomsrød and Iulie Aslaksen: The Economy of the North. 

This is a systematic survey covering the same issues in a similar way across the various Arctic countries.  The editors have coordinated the efforts of a team with members from almost every Arctic country.

Chapters look at the distinctive elements of the circumpolar economy, the natural resources of the Arctic, the individual regional economies, the interaction between the traditional subsistence economies and modern market economies, and the impact of climate change on economic activity.

Recommended.

I don't believe that children moving away from their parents is a new occurrence. In my extended family, it was rare for anyone to stay near their parents after they grew up. Maybe in the same state, but hardly ever in the same town. People have migrated away from their roots for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
