. The patterns, motivations, and consequences of the outmigration ofyoung adults from rural areas is a classic topic in population geography. Inour paper, we first take a critical look at statistical analyses andcartographic representations of migration patterns of young adults in ruralareas using Central Germany1 as an example, stressing the shortcomings ofquantitative analyses of residential mobility. We argue that migration is acomplex social process, taking place as the result of the interplay ofdemographic, socio-structural, political, economic, and production-relatedfactors involving the mobile individuals, as well as other actors,discourses, and practices. Following this, we discuss the emergence ofcultures of (out-)migration in rural areas characterised by heightenedmobility over longer periods of time and possible approaches to analysesuch regional phenomena. We hence aim at a deepening of the concept of“culture of migration” and an expansion of the debate on motives andpractices of migration to include psychological approaches, as well as acomplex systems perspective.
