Abstract

Excerpts from the article: Perhaps the biggest evolution in rural America in the past two decades is greater diversity—in land use, in community structure, in employment and educational opportunities, in political activism, and, as a consequence, in family life. Several recent events have created a greater interest about, and attention to, the family in rural society. The significant shifts in population toward rural areas, the continued decline of the intercities, and the greater location of industries in rural areas have combined with other factors to focus attention on the families who live in rural communities or who are moving to such areas. Although certain aspects of current rural family life are poorly researched and understood, a sketchy picture of such families is emerging. Primary attention has been focused on the concept of change—changes that have and haven't happened and changes that are predicted.
