“…Migration from the less developed regions to the more developed ones is induced among others by the better job opportunities (Teaford 2008, Brown-Glasgow 2008. However, this situation has to be examined with a more tinged approach.…”

Population projections of László Hablicsek (1953Hablicsek ( -2010 have major scientific contribution to understanding the demographic processes of Hungary; its social and economic usefulness cannot be questioned. Although, trends of the past ten years indicate the need for some corrections. The present analysis shows that the population estimation was very close to reality in the past ten years. There was no significant difference between the estimated and real data; only last year's data show some alteration. However, the projections for smaller territorial scales are in need for serious corrections. In recent years, regional disparities in the country rather increased. The migration towards large cities, moving from undeveloped areas to more developed ones raise dissonance among regions. The population concentration proved to be stronger than the forecast, and the analysis showed, that the regional concentration of the population as well as the loss of population has further reinforced the unfavourable position of underdeveloped regions at micro-regional level. Immigration from abroad further enhances regional differences, since the immigrants presumably do not prefer rural, disadvantaged areas, they most probably favour economically developed micro-regions which are close to big cities. The observed changes in the socio-economic environment require corrections in the demographic projections, which is a natural need of the professional audience as well as actors in social policy.

“…Les écrits nationaux et internationaux s'attardent généralement à des groupes de migrants spécifiques tels des jeunes (DESJARDINS et SIMARD, 2008) 5 , des retraités (BROWN et GLASGOW, 2008 ;CALLOIS et al, 2003), des migrants de retour (POTVIN, 2005), des néo-entrepreneurs (SALEILLE, 2006), des immigrants (REIMER, 2007 ;SIMARD, 2008a) ou des artistes (MITCHELL et al, 2004). Or, rares sont les recherches qui tentent de dresser un portrait plus global de ces nouvelles populations rurales en dégageant les convergences et les divergences sur diverses dimensions les caractérisant.…”

“…Rendus à cette étape de leur vie, les néo-ruraux à la retraite sont donc en quête de milieux ayant ces caractéristiques spécifiques, un phénomène qui semble généralisé dans d'autres pays occidentaux tels les États-Unis et la France (BROWN et GLASGOW, 2008 ;GUICHART-CLAUDIC, 2001). Les entrevues ont d'ailleurs souvent laissé sous-entendre que leur migration vers la campagne concorde avec leur projet de retraite et leur désir d'un style de vie différent, comme en fait foi ce répondant :…”

Les milieux ruraux sont actuellement confrontés à de nombreux changements occasionnés, entre autres, par l’arrivée et l’insertion de nouvelles populations désirant s’y établir en permanence. Ce phénomène touche plusieurs pays, ce qui pose de nouveaux défis, aussi bien pour les décideurs locaux que pour l’ensemble de la communauté rurale. Cet article permet de mieux connaître cette situation peu étudiée au Québec, en apportant un éclairage nouveau sur les trajectoires résidentielles, les motifs de migration ainsi que l’insertion professionnelle et sociale des nouvelles populations rurales. En relevant les convergences et les divergences caractérisant les néo-ruraux de deux MRC contrastées (Brome-Missisquoi et Arthabaska), son objectif est de faire ressortir l’hétérogénéité et la complexité de ces populations.Rural communities currently face many changes caused, among other things, by the arrival and integration of new populations wishing to settle there permanently. This phenomenon affects a number of countries, raising new challenges both for local decision-makers and for the rural community as a whole. This paper provides a better understanding of this situation, which has not been widely studied in Québec, by shedding new light on residential trajectories, on reasons for migration and on the occupational and social integration of new rural populations. By noting aspects of convergence and divergence among neo-rural populations in two contrasting RCMs (Brome-Missisquoi and Arthabaska), its aim is to bring out the complex heterogeneous nature of these populations

The rural United States has suffered long-term population decline over the past several decades, especially in farming communities. In recent years, biofuel production has been argued to hold potential for the revitalization of rural America and in response, many rural communities have eagerly attempted to attract ethanol plants as a local development effort. This study conceptualizes economic revitalization in terms of population dynamics and investigates whether the establishment of a biofuel plant has been associated with changes in population aging, natural increase, and/or migration trends in the West North Central United States, the location of the majority of the nation's biofuel plants. Using path dependence as a conceptual framework and aggregate statistics from a variety of sources, results from spatial regression models indicate that despite initial expectations, ethanol plants have no association with the demographic trajectories of rural counties.
