AB  - The European Union’s Right to Stay strategy aims to ensure that
citizens are not forced to leave the places they call home due to
economic reasons. While representing a significant move in
cohesion policy, the strategy remains conceptually
underdeveloped in its consideration of rural youth mobilities. This
commentary argues that its effectiveness is limited by four
implicit dualisms that continue to shape both policy and
research: structure versus agency, localism versus globalism, rural
versus urban, and staying versus leaving. These binaries fail to
capture the complex, relational, and increasingly fluid mobility
trajectories of rural young people. Driven by the concept of sense
of place, the paper proposes a place-based framework combining
attachment, identity, dependence, and satisfaction to understand
how rural young people experience mobility decisions. It argues
that the objective of the Right to Stay strategy should not be to
reduce rural young people’s mobility, but to expand their
mobility choices by enabling them to remain, leave, commute,
circulate, or return according to their aspirations rather than
territorial constraints. The paper concludes by outlining how a
sense of place perspective can inform the future design and
implementation of EU cohesion policy.
