India: Where have all the young men gone?

India: Where have all the young men gone? - thestar.com

Interesting article - deals with several issues, primarily focused on Punjab, but could be anywhere in India. Immigration - legal or otherwise, youth moving to distant lands to find better opportunities, empty nesters, migrant workers, and the deep divisions which exist in society.

Add to that the state of elders who move abroad to be with their children and their families - and you have a very complex situation. There is no easy fix - but I'm sure the community would like to know if there are any successful models in places like UK and Canada...
