Abstract
Focused on generational renewal, this paper presents the ideal livelihoods young people envision for themselves in a rural area. In doing so, it ascertains what facilitates young people to stay in rural areas, or what motivates them to return once they have moved away. The research context explored is the dream future livelihoods of youth who want to live in rural areas of Ireland. Further to this, the paper will use rural economic resilience as a lens to examine the implications of the livelihood dreams of youth on rural economic resilience.
