Calabrian villages offering $33K to young people who move to Italy
By Catherine Park
The region of Calabria, which makes up the tip of the boot of Italy, will pay young people $33,000 to move there and start a business in a bid to combat population decline, according to Calabria’s Economic Development Department.
The pilot project aims to revive inland areas of southern Italy which are at risk of being extinguished, Gianluca Gallo, regional council to agriculture and economic development, said during a January news conference. Encouraging the movement of many citizens and tourists from larger areas means allowing both the rebirth of small villages and the redemption of all those young Calabrians who want to take up a job. It is a social response, but also an entrepreneurial one, for those who want to take risks or live a different life. And it is a response to our small communities that still have a great desire to continue living, Gallo added.

Cities such as Tochigi and Nagano have âakiya banksâ â websites that are developed by municipal governments and list abandoned homes. According to Insider, some of the akiyas are available for as little as 50,000 yen or C$549.Â
Making it even easier for people to get their hands on a vacant or âghost home,â the town of Okutama (located in western Tokyo) is offering aging buildings for free, reported Nikkei.Â
While the free buildings have deteriorated too much to be considered habitable, new owners of the properties have found innovative ways to repurpose them, renovating them into restaurants and ateliers.Â
