Abstract
The exodus or the permanence of young people in rural areas is a highly
debated topic in Latin America. This work aims to contribute to this discussion based
on an empirical research with a survey of 400 young people in Argentina. This study
shows how different variables influence in keeping young people in rural areas engaging
in agriculture activities. The hypothesis that arises and that is finally validated is that belonging to farming families and studies related to agricultural activity are the key factors that allow young
people to settle in rural areas and engage in agriculture. The statistical techniques used for descriptive analysis
are contingency tables and comparison of means, while the multiple binary logistic regressions are used to perform
dependency analysis and validate the hypothesis.
