abstract: 'Rural development has been identified by EU leaders as one of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
priorities of European structural policies, and as one of the objectives
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of cohesion policy. Yet despite this commitment, we are very poorly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
informed about how ordinary people live across the rural areas of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Europe, their incomes and quality of life, and their perceptions of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies and economic and social change. This paper argues that greater
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attention should be devoted to issues of poverty, disadvantage and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social exclusion in rural Europe by both policymakers and researchers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is particularly crucial at the present time as rural Europe is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
subject to major structural changes deriving both from changes in rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economy and society and from policy initiatives such as the Maastricht
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Treaty and the Single European Act. These are over and above the wider
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trends operating throughout Europe in relation to employment, fiscal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
crisis and ageing, for example. A central requirement is for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
articulation of policies for tackling economic and social exclusion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. Poverty 3, Exclusion 1), on the one hand, with those directed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
towards rural development (e.g. Leader 2), on the other. Fundamental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household survey work is required to increase our understanding of what
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
constitutes rural disadvantage, which client groups are affected, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
how policies can contribute towards relieving their disadvantage,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
preferably through client-based instruments rather than less appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
area-based approaches. The last part of this paper presents preliminary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
results of such a survey, focusing on issues of employment, housing,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poverty and quality of life.'
