La relación entre la educación y las preferencias de fecundidad en México: Lecciones de Italia
No full textEducation is an important determinant
of reproductive preferences. However, few studies
have explored the evolution of its role in countries
with different levels of fertility transition,
due to the lack of adequate data. In this paper,
we analyze the role of education as a determinant
of fertility preferences in Mexico, a country which
is rapidly approaching the end of fertility transition,
albeit with substantial differences between
different areas of the country. Using survey data,
we contrast the results with evidence from a very
low fertility country, Italy. The results indicate a
persistent negative correlation between fertility
preferences and educational levels in Mexico.
However, a more detailed analysis at the territorial
level reveals that in the most developed regions—
such as Mexico City—the relationship is
going into reverse, with more educated women
showing a greater willingness to having another
child, similarly to Italy, where higher levels of education
have a positive effect on fertility intentions.La educación es un determinante importante de las preferencias reproductivas. La forma de como ha cambiado su papel en los países con diferentes niveles de transición de la fecundidad, ha sido poco investigado, en gran medida debido a la falta de datos adecuados. Este documento analiza el papel de la educación como determinante de las preferencias de fecundidad en México, un país que se acerca rápidamente al final de la transición de la fecundidad, aunque con diferencias territoriales sustanciales. Contrastamos los resultados con evidencia de un país con muy baja fecundidad, Italia, utilizando datos de encuesta. Los resultados indican una relación negativa persistente en México entre las preferencias de fecundidad y el nivel educativo. Sin embargo, un análisis más refinado de áreas territoriales revela que en las regiones más desarrolladas –como la Ciudad de México–, la relación se está revirtiendo, mostrando entre las mujeres con mayor nivel educativo una actitud favorable a tener un hijo más, similar a la observada en Italia, donde el efecto de una mayor educación en las intenciones de fecundidad es positivo

Socio-economic factors and family size as determinants of marital dissolution in Italy
No full textThis study was carried out to investigate how and when union dissolution appears in the life cycle of an Italian woman through a legal or de-facto separation. Among Western European countries Italy stands out in terms of demographic behaviour. Italian society is in an advanced stage of demographic development regarding mortality and reproductive behaviour, but still shows traditional conjugal models and attitudes towards any form of cohabitation other than marriage and towards divorce. However, though at macro-level, marriage dissolution is still considered a secondary phenomenon in the context of Italian conjugal habits, increasing interest in the analysis of individual strategies concerning family building and maintenance leads to giving divorce more attention as a step in the individual life course. The final aim of this project is to analyse the characteristics of ersons experiencing this event and to individuate any possible highest-risk life course and the socio-economic context in which it developed. Women most exposed to the risk of marital disruption seem to be those who married very young, who have had no more than one child, who are better educated, who have full-time jobs and who reside in large towns in the north-west of Italy. In addition, a woman who cohabits with her partner before marrying him is more likely to separate than a woman entering marriage directly. © 1992 Oxford University Press
