| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In the fiscal year 2022 I carried out the following research activities:
A) Review of the literature that analyze the depopulation problem of the rural Spain and the role that LEADER and PRODER programs is having on the non-agrarian part of the rural economy. B) Review of the so-called "grey" literature regarding the activities of the three Local Action Groups (LAGs) that were the focus of this year fieldwork (rural areas of Madrid). C) Interviews on site (the rural areas of Madrid) during fieldwork in autumn. The fieldwork and the interviews focused on the remote working situation before, during, and after the pandemic. D)I am preparing a paper, to be published this fiscal year of 2023, based on the investigation of the rural parts of Madrid done in the fiscal year 2022.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The research is progressing, more or less, as initially planned, although the fieldwork planned for September had to be postponed two months because of the pandemic situation and its restrictions. Nevertheless, the fieldwork and the interviews on site were done, as initially planned.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This fiscal year 2023 the Local Action Groups focused will be those of Avila and Segovia provinces, of Castilla y Leon region. First, I will continue reviewing the latest literature regarding rural Spain and the remote work situation in Spain. Second, I will review the so-called "grey" literature of the LAGs that are the focus of this year investigation. Third, I will do fieldwork and interviews on site in September. Fourth, I will prepare a paper based on the investigation of the rural parts of Avila and Segovia, continuation of the one that is to be published this fiscal year 2023.
