Chapter 10 uses the gradual abandonment of a religious center and place of retirement to illustrate how educational migration is affecting elderly care, reconfiguring religious life, and compromising villagers’ ability to uphold a full complement of annual Buddhist rites. It then introduces the concept of “disembedding” to discuss the pros and cons of a migration phenomenon that distances youths from their places of birth while enhancing their capacity to function, as ethnic minorities, in a complex and rapidly changing society. The chapter and book conclude with a young migrant’s expression of appreciation for the sacrifices her parents made so that she could lead a more comfortable life.
