Description
Comparative analysis of urban ageing: the example of the Rhone- Alpes region.
Using some indicators of ageing expressed in a very simple form (associations between several broad age groups in local populations) the paper will describe and analyse the clear reversal of a tendency noticed in the evolution of the structure of ages in cities and countries. From 1975 to 1982, as a by-product of a powerful movement of exurbanisation dominated by relatively young couples and their children, the country population of the Rhones-Alpes region marked a clear tendency to rejuvenation; conversely the decline of migration shifts of populatioh to cities (country exodus, increased interurban migrations and international migrations), the general fall of their fecundity and the extension of the mean duration of life has produced a noticeable ageing of the urban population. The variety of local and regional situations is studied through the recent evolution of ageing in the 85 Rhonè-Alpines urban built-up areas of over 5,000 inhabitants, among which we observe very important contrasts. The disparate trends can be partly explained by the divergent evolution of economic activities (here in crisis, there in full expansion), in the general slackening of growth in large built-up areas and in certain patterns of migration affecting the pensioners.

Utilisant quelques indicateurs de vieillesse exprimés sous une forme très simple (rapports entre les divers grands groupes d'âges constitutifs d'une population), l'auteur souligne le net renversement de tendance observé dans l'évolution de la structure des âges des villes et des campagnes : de 1975 à 1982, sous l'influence d'un puissant mouvement d'exurbanisation mettant en jeu des couples relativement jeunes et leurs enfants, la population rurale de la région Rhône- Alpes a marqué une nette tendance au rajeunissement; inversement l'affaiblissement des courants migratoires en direction des villes (exode rural, migrations interurbaines et migrations internationales), s 'ajoutant à la baisse générale de la fécondité et à l'allongement de la durée moyenne de vie, a provoqué un vieillissement sensible de la population urbaine. La diversité des situations locales et régionales est étudiée à travers l'évolution récente du vieillissement dans l'ensemble des 85 unités urbaines rhône-alpines de plus de 5000 habitants, parmi lesquelles on observe des contrastes très importants. La disparité des destins urbains trouve son explication dans l'évolution divergente des activités économiques (ici en crise, là en plein essor), dans le mouvement général de desserrement des grandes agglomérations et dans certains phénomènes de tropisme affectant les retraités.
