Abstract

[fre] L'auteur, directrice d'un foyer de jeunes travailleuses à Tours, a été frappée par les nombreuses inadaptations des jeunes rurales à la vie urbaine et à la modernité. Ces jeunes qui, comme tant d'autres, ne trouvaient pas d'emploi chez elles, sont venues en ville pour y gagner leur vie ou pour se préparer à un travail urbain. Beaucoup le regrettaient profondément, telle cette apprentie de dix-huit ans : « Je reste à Tours parce que le travail m'y oblige ; mais je n'aime pas la ville » ; ou cette aide soignante de vingt-quatre ans : « je suis à Tours parce que je n'ai pas trouvé de travail à Loches. C'est plus près de chez moi et c'est une plus petite ville. On y est moins perdu, il y a moins d'anonymat ». . Pourtant, des jeunes se déclarent adaptés. Elles ont trouvé dans leur famille, dans leur milieu d'origine, la sécurité intérieure qui, par la suite, leur permet de faire face aux transformations de leur vie. . « C'est souvent dans les fermes modernes, chez les femmes qui ont progressivement modifié le cadre de l'existence familiale, que 'l'on rencontre une vision modifiée de l'avenir des enfants». Ceux-ci ont le maximum de chances de s'adapter. [eng] The problems posed by the adaptation of girls from country areas to modern life in town - The writer, who runs a hostel for young working girls in Tours, has been struck by the lack of adaptation of girls from the country to town life. These girls, like so many others, could not find work at home and came to Tours to earn their living or to learn an urban occupation. A great many deeply regret the move, like this eighteen-year-old apprentice : « I stay in Tours because of my job ; but I don't like town life ». Or this twenty-four year-old hospital worker : « I'm in Tours because I couldn't find a job in Loches. But I would rather have worked in Loches. It's nearer home and it's a small town. You're not lost and it's less anonymous ». . Yet the girls say they have adapted to town life. They have an inner security in their families and in their original environment, which later enables them to face the changes in their lives. . « It is often in modern farms, among women who have gradually changed family life that one finds a modified idea of the children's future ». These are the children who have the most chance of adapting.
