Big implications here for age-based polarisation if we continue to see rural and coastal areas grow older, while city populations get younger. No easy answers, but incentivising new work from home jobs could help to spread more opportunities for young people further outside big cities

The rise in how solitary we are is a huge change with fascinating implications to think through. This article is focused on US - but a deep and super interesting discussion
