Rural Policies and Employment:TransAtlantic Experiences

Edited by Sophia Davidova, Kenneth J Thomson and Ashok Mishra ()

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: A unique title comparing rural policies and employment in the two most developed parts of the world — the EU and USA. While both regions are concerned for their vast rural areas, each adopts a strikingly different approach to create and maintain employment there, making rural space attractive to businesses and residents.
