The rural labour markets: Towards a functional specialisation of spaces?

Michel Blanc

INRAE Sciences Sociales, 2003, vol. 2003, 6

Abstract: Various specificities characterize the rural labour markets. Because of their small size, job applications and offers are less numerous and so less diversified, causing greater difficulties in matching them than in the urban labour markets. Moreover, in the countryside, job relationships are more often embedded in social relationships than in town. These phenomena contribute to making jobs steadier and salaries lower in the rural areas and creating a functional specialisation of spaces.
