Abstract
How do European rural areas evolve? While for decades the countryside in many regions of Europe was synonymous with inevitable decline, nowadays, some areas experience a rebirth, even in areas where until recently development was not considered possible. Our modelling effort aims at better understanding these heterogeneities. To deal with this objective, the modelling and the parameterisation should be strongly constraint by available data. This chapter focusses on the modelling of the individual working dynamics describing how we can design the entering on the labour marking, the job search decision and process and every other process related to work from available data. We argue about the utility of large existing databases to design complex integrated individual dynamics.

Eurostat defines the NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) classification as a hierarchical system for dividing up the EU territory: NUTS 1 for the major socio-economic regions; NUTS 2 for the basic regions for the application of regional policies; NUTS 3 as small regions for specific diagnoses; LAU (Local Administrative Units 1 and 2) has been added more recently to allow local level statistics.

Consists of municipalities or equivalent units.

A complex household is a household which is not a single, a couple with or without children.
