Abstract
The recent literature on rural migrations in Europe focuses on knowing the reasons of young population for emigrating and their consequences in the economic development of the regions. However, in Galicia there is a significant lack of research focused on the exodus of the Galician rural population in the 21st century, a fact that contrasts with the many studies on the historical migration to America and Europe. Taking as a reference the classification of the Galician municipalities according to their grade and subgrade of urbanization, a characterization of migratory movements of the population under 35 years old with origin in the sparsely populated areas was carried out. Thus, this paper aims to contribute to the knowledge of the factors behind the great population loss in the rural areas, which is crucial to deal with the challenges of the demographic problem.
