Abstract: The type of job and income growth that manufacturing industries will provide for rural economies is one of the most important rural development questions of the 1990's. While manufacturing will undoubtedly continue to play a significant role in rural economies, the effects upon rural economies of dramatic worldwide restructuring of manufacturing are unknown. This report explores many of the issues associated with the restructuring of manufacturing industries and their implications for rural growth. The chapters were originally presented at a workshop in Washington, DC, September 24-25, 1992. The workshop was co-sponsored by the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.
