Perspectives of Rural Development in Latvia

Alise Vītola, Zintis Hermansons

The proportion of rural population is decreasing not only in Latvia, but all over the Europe. It is forecasted that along with a further increase in agriculture’s productivity the number of jobs in Latvian rural areas will continue to shrink. Therefore questions arise on the future of rural population. We are going to outline the perspectives of the rural development based on theoretical considerations, Scandinavian experience and an example of a rural municipality – Durbes novads – in Latvia.
