Book Description
El siglo XX se ha caracterizado por profundos cambios demográficos mundiales, de los cuales América Latina no ha estado ajena. De 1950 hasta el final del siglo la esperanza de vida en la región pasó, en promedio de un poco mas de 50 años a aproximadamente 70 años. Aun más espectacular fue lo ocurrido con la fecundidad, pues en tres décadas, como promedio, las mujeres de la región han descendido a la mitad el número de hijos de 6 a 3. El CELADE, con la colaboración de la Universidad de Paris X Nanterre y el gobierno de Francia, llevó a cabo el seminario "La Fecundidad en América Latina: ¿Transición o Revolución?". En el se abordó la temática del descenso de la fecundidad, los factores determinantes y las consecuencias socioeconómicas en los países de la región. Esta publicación contiene las ponencias presentadas al seminario según la estructura y orden de la reunión.

Book Description
This open access book presents an innovative study of the rise of unmarried cohabitation in the Americas, from Canada to Argentina. Using an extensive sample of individual census data for nearly all countries on the continent, it offers a cross-national, comparative view of this recent demographic trend and its impact on the family. The book offers a tour of the historical legacies and regional heterogeneity in unmarried cohabitation, covering: Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, Colombia, the Andean region, Brazil, and the Southern Cone. It also explores the diverse meanings of cohabitation from a cross-national perspective and examines the theoretical implications of recent developments on family change in the Americas. The book uses data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series, International (IPUMS), a project dedicated to collecting and distributing census data from around the world. This large sample size enables an empirical testing of one of the currently most powerful explanatory frameworks for changes in family formation around the world, the theory of the Second Demographic Transition. With its unique geographical scope, this book will provide researchers with a new understanding into the spectacular rise in premarital cohabitation in the Americas, which has become one of the most salient trends in partnership formation in the region.

Book Description
Latin America and the Caribbean will soon face the challenges of an aging population. This process, which took over a century in the rich world, will occur in two or three decades in the developing world; seven of the 25 countries that will age more rapidly are in LAC. Population aging will pose challenges and offer opportunities. This book explores three sets of issues. First is a group of issues related to the support of the aging and poverty in the life cycle. This covers questions of work and retirement, income and wealth, and living arrangements and intergenerational transfers. It also explores the relation between the life cycle and poverty. Second is the question of the health transition. How does the demographic transition impact the health status of the population and the demand for health care? And how advanced is the health transition in LAC? Third is an understanding of the fiscal pressures that are likely to accompany population aging and to disentangle the role of demography from the role of policy in that process. This book provides an introduction to the concepts and techniques at the intersection of demography and economics. It summarizes the policy debate about potential reforms needed to make population aging an opportunity for development.
