Failed Projects in the Implementation of Leader Approach in Deep Rural Areas of Andalusian Region (Spain): Youth and Women

Authors

Abstract

The studies that analyse LEADER projects study those that have been implemented, ignoring those that have not been implemented. Our objective is to analyse the participation of key actors such as women and young people according to territorial typologies based on all the projects that started administrative proceedings between 2007-2015 in Andalusia. The results show the diversity of behaviours in the different profiles of the promoters analysed, varying according to the territorial typologies established. Men’s primacy can be seen both in the number of projects presented and the average investment made, especially in the more rural areas. Women reduce the differences with men, especially in the closest and intermediate areas, especially if they are young or not. Young people show a very high level of success in the projects they initiate, forced by the crisis’s need and in tune with the new emerging rural paradigm.
