Cities of the world that seek to attract young people to repopulate

Settling in a city in a distant country or continent can be difficult, not only because of the language or climate challenges, but also because of the costs of moving. However, several locations around the world seek to help people to live in them, offering financial assistance, to facilitate the move.

Even the largest and most well-known countries have cities that need new young people to increase their population and modernize. If you are interested in knowing what they are, review their benefits and requirements below:

Molise, Italy

This European city has some of the lowest population rates on the continent, so its authorities are very interested in attracting young people who can expand the community. For this reason, Melise offers foreigners $27,000 divided into monthly installments of $770, so they can move to one of the villages. His requirement is that travelers commit to setting up a venture to boost the region’s economy.

Ottenstein, Germany

Ottenstein, a municipality in Germany, does not give a monthly fee to live in its town, but it does give away land to families who want to move and build a house in the community. The condition to be accepted is that the construction of the house is completed in three years and that the family that moves has children.

Saskatchewan, Canada

Canada makes it easier for you to study and work in the city of Saskatchewan, through the ‘Graduate Retention Program Application’ program, which grants $20,000 dollars to students who obtain a degree from a local university, with the commitment to live and work there for at least 7 years after the delivery of the money.

Pipestone, Canada

This Canadian town offers land to foreigners for only $8 dollars, with the purpose of building a business or a house. For this, in addition, it gives financial subsidies for $25,000. One of the main requirements to work and reside in Canada is to have a good level of the language of the place where you want to live, for example, if you want to go to Quebec, you will need to know French; if you want to settle in British Columbia, you will need to know English.

Antikythera Island, Greece

Greece has a very attractive offer for young people who want to move to the island: a house, land and 500 euros a month for three years. “We are looking for a lot of families to revive our island,” Antikythera Mayor Andreas Harhalakis said, highlighting some of the jobs available there: fishermen, builders and bakers.

New Haven, United States

This city in the state of Connecticut grants up to $10,000 to people who want to move and build a house, with the requirement that it be inhabited for at least 5 years.

Chili

The Latin American country is not far behind, and also seeks to attract young entrepreneurs through the Start Up Chile program. Those selected receive up to $40,000 and a work visa for one year to promote a business. (YO)
