Family scholars can and do contribute to build social capital, and thereby, elevate quality of life in a community. By training, many of us have insight into assessing community needs and, by employment, we have standing to help direct resources toward resolving those needs.

The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. It does so by conducting public opinion polling and social science research; by analyzing news coverage; and by holding forums and briefings. It does not take positions on policy issues.

Increasingly, demographers and policymakers warn that the future of the nation's small towns lies in their ability to attract enough educated and professionally-trained young people to keep their communities viable. After all, a new birth cannot replace one of its young people-particularly the ones with a college degree-who head off to the big city in search of better jobs and brighter opportunities. Without enough young people to purchase homes, hold jobs, pay taxes, and raise children, communities cannot survive.

A few days back, I completed an important home project. I set up my lighted ceramic village for the holidays. For those who don't know what these are, I've got a photo of my display... it's a planned community... I am very persnickety that each building goes in the right place.
