URBANISATION IN LATVIA urban population:
67.7% of total population 10 towns and villages
have been erased from the map of Latvia
Really remote and distant cities from the capital are and will be disappearing.
The lack of opportunities and jobs available makes young people flow to the capital or even other countries.
