Rural households are embedded in distinct social, economic, and cultural settings that may reinforce or reshape domestic arrangements. Using nationally representative data from the Canadian General Social Survey, this study examines gender differences in time spent on household chores across urban and rural areas. We distinguish between routine tasks, such as cooking and cleaning, and nonroutine tasks, such as household repairs and yard work. Findings indicate that women continue to perform substantially more unpaid labor than men regardless of place of residence. However, the gender gap is larger in rural contexts, driven by both rural men's lower engagement in routine chores and rural women's higher total time in domestic work compared to their urban counterparts. These results suggest that rural residence amplifies traditional gendered patterns of labor. By situating unpaid household labor within an urban–rural framework, this study highlights how place remains a key axis of inequality in family life and underscores the ways that geographic context intersects with gender to structure everyday practices within households.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"155 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SLR will cause marshes to erode on their seaward edge, but marsh migration onto uplands may allow for their persistence and continued provision of ecosystem services. Low elevation agricultural land may be well‐suited for marsh migration; however, SLR and associated marsh migration on agricultural land could negatively impact farmers and landowners, underscoring the value of exploring both social and ecological dimensions of marsh migration. We conducted semi‐structured interviews ( n = 12) with coastal farmers and agricultural landowners on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, USA to understand their experiences with and perceptions of impacts of marsh migration on their agricultural lands and in their community. While interviewees acknowledged some benefits of marsh migration, the preservation of farmland was preferred over allowing marsh migration. Participants also shared their views on some of the social consequences of SLR and marsh migration such as impacts to their livelihoods, damage to infrastructure in their communities, and the impact of regulatory boundaries related to wetlands. However, most saw these as distant issues. We outline additional socio‐cultural factors interviewees noted, such as intergenerational ties to the community and desires to see open space conserved, that could influence efforts to promote marsh migration. In revealing current challenges and opportunities facing coastal farmers and agricultural landowners due to SLR, these findings can inform coastal adaptation planning efforts that simultaneously consider ecological and social impacts of marsh migration.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rural areas experiencing structural vacancy face economic strain, weakened housing markets, fiscal stress, and cycles of disinvestment and population loss. Existing research emphasizes metropolitan contexts and absolute vacancy counts, obscuring rural and nonmetropolitan patterns that become visible when vacancy is measured as a percentage of total housing units and when seasonal housing is analytically separated. Using county‐level data from the 2015–2019 American Community Survey, this study examines the correlates of structural housing vacancy—defined as vacant housing units excluding those used for seasonal, recreational, or occasional purposes. Results indicate that structural vacancy is strongly associated with economic disadvantage, weaker housing markets, rural remoteness, and regional context. In contrast, seasonal vacancy reflects amenity‐driven dynamics tied to aging populations, retirement migration, and second‐home ownership. Path analyses further demonstrate substantial subregional heterogeneity in the mechanisms producing seasonal and structural vacancy. These findings demonstrate that structural vacancy is a spatial manifestation of uneven development and population change across rural America, while highlighting the importance of distinguishing vacancy regimes and advancing a more spatially grounded understanding of housing inequality in the United States.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147751699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In rural transition contexts, readiness is often treated as evidence of legitimacy and fairness through cohesion, consensus, and institutional alignment—even as these qualities may obscure internal inequalities and foreclose contested futures. Drawing on postcolonial feminist theory, recognition justice, and scholarship on anticipatory governance, the paper reconceptualizes readiness not as a neutral measure of capacity but as a governing grammar that organizes who counts as the community, how disagreement is interpreted, and which futures are rendered actionable. Empirically, the paper analyzes Colorado's effort to decarbonize its electricity system by 2040, focusing on the institutional architecture created to manage coal plant closures and support coal‐dependent regions. Based on an iterative analysis of a wide set of documents, the study identifies four recurring political grammars—legibility, harmony, anticipation, and state redress without redistribution—that structure just transition governance across institutional sites. Together, these grammars help explain how transition efforts can be substantively active and procedurally inclusive while remaining constrained in their capacity to address deeper questions of power, belonging, and rural political–economic change. The paper concludes by advancing “just readiness” as an analytic orientation attentive to contestation, evolving community boundaries, and the politics of anticipation in rural sustainability transitions.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147664018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study utilizes Q‐methodology to identify the key factors influencing the adoption of a participatory breeding strategy for native maize in the central region of Veracruz, Mexico. The methodology was applied with 16 farmers, revealing three distinct perspectives regarding the most viable ways to promote this strategy: (1) fostering government intervention to provide resources and technical support, (2) ensuring the strategy results in increased economic benefits for families, and (3) prioritizing collective work and achieving prompt, tangible outcomes. The study highlights the importance of understanding the diversity of expectations among farmers regarding agricultural innovation strategies promoted by research groups, governmental institutions, and NGOs. Far from being homogenous, these expectations reflect complex and, at times, conflicting perspectives, underscoring the need for tailored approaches that consider local priorities and dynamics.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147619621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
