a lot of rural or provincial towns in Europe are in terminal decline for many reasons, but chief among them demographics.
My family comes from a very rural German village. There is no economy, there isn't even a physician any more since the last one retired, everyone commutes over an hour to work in the next big city etc, and this is systemic.
Some people may not see it that way because it's always painful to uproot ways of life but I think the case for the prosperity of those regions is virtually impossible to make, and it's getting worse steadily.
