| Sumario: | The rural exodus was a relevant factor in the transformation of Brazilian agriculture from the 1950s/60s. Abramovay et al (1998) identified an aging process motivated by the absence of young people from rural areas. Spanevello (2008) reports that the emptying of the rural environment occurs due to the lack of successors to proceed with the activities of the family establishment. In order to better understand what encourages young people to stay in rural areas, this research faced the following problem: what are the factors that influence young farmers' decision-making to remain or not in rural areas? The objective was to analyze the factors that influence the succession process from the young farmer's perception. Exploratory research and semi-structured interviews were carried out in 32 rural family farms in the Region of the Missions-RS. It was concluded that young people remain in the family establishment mainly due to the influence of the family trajectory, encouragement of the family, seeking to develop alternatives with family members to maintain a satisfactory quality of life for the family group. Those who do not remain are influenced by the family group's deficiency in deliberating autonomy and failing to demonstrate satisfactory financial security for all members. |
