Résumé anglais Who are young country people ? According to the 1990 census, young country people represent 23,4 % of the 15-24 age range. If we compare young country people with the entire youth population, what comes to the fore is that rural youth sees itself essentially as more working-class, more rustic of course, but definitely from a workers' background. This article looks at similarities and differences between rural and urban youth in several areas, training and employment, lifestyles, religion, politics. It then goes on to analyse the attitudes of young country people towards the urban environment. It emerges that young country people on the whole see and do things in much the same way as urban dwellers, even if they re-adapt them to the characteristics of the rural environment. «Ruralness» is no longer linked to a strong cultural identity. It is especially seen as a life style which is characterised by the increasing emphasis on the quality of life. What is significant is the attraction exerced by rural communities on the outskirts of town.
