title: [Rural depopulation:  1954-1990].
abstract: "The purpose of this paper is to present evidence for a long term link between employment and population [in rural France].  A model is built in order to describe the interaction between employment, migration and natural population increase over 1962-1990.  This shows how declining departments are bound within a vicious mechanism:  while the decline of local employment leads to population outflow, the population decline contributes to a further employment fall."
