to test the value of the Register of Sasines for migration research;
to describe and evaluate the characteristics of out-migration, the destinations involved, the decision-making processes at work, the consequences for rural communities and the experiences of individual outmigrants;
to ascertain why, in an era of counter-urbanisation, out-migration of the young continues;to identify important issues requiring innovative rural policy-making.

Information includes demographic and socio-economic characteristics at time of contact and when migrated, lifetime mobility flows and decision-making influences, attitudinal information about out-migration in general, current place of residence and donor area
