Map · Why do young people leave town to find a job?

Every room on this question built its own map; these are folded into one. The same claim raised in two rooms is one item, and each link shows how many rooms found it. Where rooms found opposite things, each finding stands, with how many of the rooms that judged the link found it.

2 links found by several rooms · 0 contested · 65 links in all.

found by two or more independent rooms one room another room agrees in its own words, or by a path only rooms that do not count rejected by most rooms that judged it a dispute between rooms

In a claim’s corner, one figure for each room that raised it; past five, a group with the number. Where the caption leaves no room for figures, the number alone (×7).

Under a cause: in how many of the rooms that judged actions against it one of their actions reduces it. Green: at least one room found such an action; grey: none did; uncoloured: no room judged actions against it. The numbers are the actions, listed under the map.

WHAT THE ROOMS WOULD DO

Each room judged its own actions against its own root causes, at three quarters of its own votes. Nothing here is a vote across rooms: it counts, cause by cause, what each room found. A room appears once its Actions stage has closed. Each number on the map marks a root cause that action reduces.

The causes the most rooms raised, “Careers advice is one afternoon in the final year”, “Nobody in a position to hire ever visits a classroom”, “Young people leave and do not come back” (3 rooms each), have no action against them in any room.
