| Summary/Abstract |
This article addresses orientations towards place and opportunities for rural-urban and inter-regional migration amongst graduates of vocational colleges in Ul'yanovsk Oblast'. Given the inaccessibility of the housing market and decline in the provision of student and workplace accommodation, kinship networks have become the principal means to negotiate any form of migration. However, while in some cases such networks provide 'bridges' to opportunities elsewhere, a general lack of networks, alongside the 'bonding' effects of kinship networks at the local level, acts as a significant constraint on young peoples' prospects for geographical, and social, mobility.
