Why it is sensible to stay, if it is not? Insights for processing and analyzing prospects of „immobility research”

Summary/Abstract: The paper takes into account theoretical, speculative considerations to explain why villagers,especially highly educated young villagers, stay (relocate) to their village after completingtheir studies. Explanations are needed because the usual assumptions are that the village offerspoorer job opportunities, lower earnings, poorer conditions of consumption, entertainment andeducation than cities - it seems useful and rational for young people to move to a city (or abroad)with a richer supply of facilities; if they are geographically and socially mobile. Against thisoften generalized assumption, there are circumstances in which both the interests of materialutility and the prospect for gaining attractive social status make it a reasonable choice to stayin the village, to be ‚immobile’. These circumstances are considered as possible explanations forimmobility.
