Beschreibung / Abstract
Warum verlassen junge Frauen ihre Heimatdörfer, warum bleiben junge Männer dort - häufig unverheiratet? In ihrer Studie untersucht Nancy Konvalinka diese Entwicklung am Beispiel eines spanischen Dorfes. Deutlich wird, dass sich das Haus als Ort der gemeinsamen (Re-)Produktion verändert hat und dass Bildungsmöglichkeiten die Lebensläufe der Frauen entscheidend beeinflussen. Die Studie lässt Rückschlüsse auf ähnliche Prozesse in anderen ländlichen Gegenden Europas zu.
