人口损失是目前在边远农村地区发生的荒漠化进程的一个方面。 它既是荒漠化其他方面的原因，也是其后果，如服务设施的关闭和农业用地的废弃。 农村人口流失的模式和过程值得关注，不仅是作为局部现象，而且是为了了解其在更广泛的国家趋势中的位置。 针对这样一个国家的角度来看，本文讨论了在爱尔兰共和国的农村人口下降的问题，在过去的二十年中，考虑到地方的规模和估计的净移民的关键年龄组。 这项分析是在大约160个农村地区一级进行的。 分析结果证实了外围地区、人口规模小和年轻工作年龄组减少之间的预期关系。 然而，所使用的方法允许在一定程度上精确地确定地点大小、人口变化和这种变化的构成之间的联系。
Population loss is one aspect of the process of desertification currently taking place in peripheral rural areas. It is at once a cause and a consequence of other dimensions of desertification such as the closure of service facilities and the abandonment of agricultural land. Patterns and processes of rural population loss merit attention not just as localised phenomena but with a view to understanding their place within broader national trends. Against such a national perspective, this paper addresses the issue of rural population decline in the Republic of Ireland during the past two decades having regard to size of place and estimated net migration for key age groups. The analysis is pursued at the level of some 160 Rural Districts. The results of the analysis confirm expected relationships between peripheral locations, small population size and a depletion of the young working age groups. The method used, however, permits the links between size of place, population change and the composition of that change to be identified with some precision.
