[The fertility transition in Latin America].

چکیده
"In this article fertility behaviour is analyzed between 1950 and 1990, and Latin American countries are classified according to the stages of the transition process. The analysis of fertility decline by age of women indicates that the decrease was more pronounced in women 30 years and over, due principally to a broader access to family planning services. Differences in fertility behaviour by level of urbanization, education and occupation were also analyzed." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

متن کاملWas There a Mid-20 Century Fertility Boom in Latin America?*
The historic process of fertility decline was interrupted during the central decades of the 20 century with an unexpected period of increasing fertility that has been called the baby boom. Normally it is considered a phenomenon exclusive to countries participating in the historic demographic transition. A recent study suggests that a similar trend change in fertility may have also taken place i...
متن کاملThe End of the Fertility Transition in the Developing World
Over the past four decades reproductive behavior has changed rapidly in much of the developing world. The average total fertility rate (TFR) has fallen by half from the tradit ional six or more to near three today, and contraceptive use – once rare – is now widespread. Between the early 1960s and the late 1990s the largest fertility declines occurred in Asia (52 per cent) and Latin America (-55...
