When youth are missing from their land and society

The article addresses the ongoing crisis of declining fertility rates and migration, which are leading to demographic deterioration in Lebanon—especially in mountainous regions—where young people are leaving their towns in search of opportunities abroad, amid falling birth rates and diminished hope for a better future. The piece highlights the waning connection to the land and the decline of manual trades, compounded by the intensification of both internal and external migration due to economic and social conditions. This trend threatens to cause rural areas to perish and become depopulated zones. The article concludes by emphasizing that a genuine solution requires the political will of the state to adopt sustainable options, rather than mere calls or volunteer efforts.
