\nThe UK government should work alongside the one in Cardiff to prevent rural depopulationDuring a webinar last year on \u201cthe past, present and future of Welsh living standards\u201d, the first minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, told an anecdote to illustrate a point. Mr Drakeford had publicly floated the idea of using tax devolution powers to persuade people living in, for example, Bristol, to come and live in Wales and become Welsh taxpayers. This idea was frostily received by current Welsh taxpayers, he reported. The\u00a0gist of the reaction was that \u201cpeople who live in Wales need to belong to Wales\u201d rather than have their truest and deepest affiliations elsewhere.The response shows that while Wales shares many economic challenges with English regions such as the West Midlands and the north-east, questions of national identity add an extra layer of sentiment that counts in people\u2019s everyday lives. This was illustrated again last week, when the Welsh government\u2019s economy minister, Vaughan Gething, focused on the number of young people leaving the country. The government\u2019s aim of increasing the number of Welsh speakers to a million by 2050 would be imperilled, he said, if too many youngsters in language heartlands in the west and the north felt obliged to up sticks and head to English cities for high-quality, well-paid jobs. An upbeat campaign has been launched to persuade more to stay closer to home. \u201cIt\u2019s about having a more optimistic vision of the future,\u201d Mr Gething suggested. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to get out to get on.\u201d Continue reading…
