Udkanten – hvorfor kragerne vender Summary in English Among both social researchers and the media in Denmark the focus on the development in rural areas has increased in the recent years. The reason for this growing attention to the matters of the Danish countryside is partly due to the realisation that the share of blue-collar men in rural areas is increasing. This group is much more exposed to unemployment than other groups in the society, since many jobs for people without higher education are being outsourced to lower-waged countries. While the problem is well-known in many Western countries, this dissertation has its main focus within a Danish context, particularly the case of a peninsula called Horne Land, located in the south-western part of the island Funen. The development in rural areas has coined the term Udkantsdanmark, which roughly translates to “the peripheral Denmark”. The phrase Udkantsdanmark denominates the poorer outskirts of the country. This designation for the Danish countryside implies that the forecast for these areas outside of the main cities in Denmark is rather gloomy in respect to the future. Hence the core issue addressed in this dissertation is; why do the young men - compared to their female peers - to a larger extent prefer to live in Udkantsdanmark, if the prospects of jobs, education opportunities and even the chances of finding a spouse are very bleak? In this dissertation the young men’s reasoning for both leaving and living in Udkantsdanmark is understood by studying the significance of the local community in the shaping of the young men’s identification with the local area. The utilisation of the term Udkantsdanmark and the conceptualisation of the idea of local community in this dissertation are inspired by the theories of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft by Ferdinand Tönnies as well as Georg Simmels’ notions on the differences between people living in cities and those living in the countryside. The empirical foundation of the analysis consists of interviews conducted on Horne Land combined with survey data and case studies carried out by social researchers in both Denmark and abroad. In the conclusion I argue that the young men who choose to live in Udkantsdanmark ought not to be seen as victims of a societal development which is marginalising them. Instead, it seems that the young men, because of their identification with the local community, are keen on residing in their local rural area, thus are actively choosing to stay. Furthermore, I argue that many of the men who do move to larger cities maintain a self-understanding of belonging to Udkantsdanmark. While it is not my claim that this gendered trend is without undesirable implications, we do need to understand the young men’s commitment and affiliation to the local community in order to explain why they prefer living in Udkantsdanmark. The approach offered by this dissertation gives the reader an insight into the importance of masculinity and local communities as crucial factors in the young men's decision on whether to leave or reside in rural areas. Many experience a real dilemma in having to choose between future opportunities and their commitment to the local community. 4
