Growing up rural: No country for young people?

Available for over a year

What are the biggest challenges to growing up in the countryside? The National Federation of Young Farmers Clubs told 5 Live that it's isolation, job opportunities and poor connectivity, from buses to broadband. Nihal Arthanayake takes a look at all these issues and how they contribute towards young people questioning whether they’d be better off moving to a town or city. He speaks to people involved in tackling the problems, and those experiencing it – including Abi (pictured) who grew up on a farm, 26-year-old mum of two Jennifer who overcame isolation depression, and 29-year-old Flick who conducted an experiment to see how long it would take to get to work using public transport. (Spoiler alert: it was AGES).
