“…Neben der Verantwortung von Frauen für Sorgearbeit ist zweitens das Arbeitsplatzangebot für Frauen häufig eingeschränkter, da die Struktur vieler regionaler Arbeitsmärkte in ländlichen Räumen ihnen weniger Möglichkeiten als Männern bietet (Schumacher/Kunz 2016). Dies liegt einmal am Branchenmix mit einer Dominanz des verarbeitenden und produzierenden Gewerbes sowie des Handwerks.…”

“…The reasons are diverse and range from demographic explanations, such as the second demographic transition (Steinführer and Haase 2007), socio-economic trends of shifting gendered patterns of employment (Häussermann 2009), the divergence of job and life due to multi-locality (Kabisch, Steinführer, and Haase 2012;Montanari, Wiest, and Wörmer 2013), and economic explanations such as the shift from Fordist to Post-Fordist modes of production (Menzl 2014). The selective out-migration of young adults, and especially young women, has led to a dynamic ageing process, decreasing levels of qualification among the remaining population, increasing unemployment rates, and infrastructure divestments in economically weak rural regions (Leibert 2013(Leibert , 2016Neu 2016;Schumacher and Kunz 2016). In many shrinking small towns, particularly in Eastern Germany, a persistent structural crisis keeps these areas on a long-term trajectory of depopulation that is reinforced by natural population losses (Fink, Hennicke, and Tiemann 2019).…”

For the past ten years, the growth debate has been urban-centric, at least in Germany, while rural areas have been largely associated with depopulation. Despite their importance, small towns fall into a systematic perception gap in scientific and planning discourses. Against this background, this paper applies a threefold conceptualization of scalar relations paying analytical attention to (1) population trajectories, (2) the relation of spatial proximity and development, and (3) the influence of international migration on population development. Covering the period 1961-2018, this paper shows that despite a current demographic respite due to increased international migration, many small towns will continue to face the long-term consequences of population decline. This is accompanied by an increasing spatial differentiation of population growth rates. The relation between proximity to large centres and population growth is weakening, giving rise to other factors, e.g. residential amenities and competition between small and medium-sized towns. Based on this quantitative assessment, we conclude that small towns are the most dynamic settlement type in Germany and, at the same time, extremely heterogeneous in terms of trajectories and underlying driving factors. We also discuss conceptual aspects regarding process-understanding, terms, categories, and tools to analytically grasp the complexity of small towns.
