Abstract:

This note is a reflection on the empty Spain and some of the differential features of its economic activity. The analysis starts from the observation that the economic engines that assured more or less their stability in the past have failed. It focusses on the different productive systems observed in the rural areas and their capacity to carry over the rural economy as a whole, which constitutes the essential core of this contribution. The gender perspective and the emigration are incorporated into the debate. It ends with 9 proposals for possible future lines of work.
