Decline, adaptation or transformation: new perspectives on demographic change in resource peripheries in Australia and Sweden
"Many sparsely populated resource peripheries in developed countries are perceived to suffer from periods of demographic decline due to loss of employment opportunities and services, youth out-migration and population ageing. While these trends tend to apply at broad regional scales and for par...
