Ítem Nuptiality trends and fertility transition in Latin America(The Fertility Transition in Latin America. Oxford University Press, 1996) Rosero Bixby, Luishe purpose of this chapter is to determine the role played by nuptiality changes in the fertility transition in Latin America. As other contributions to this book show, most Latin American countries have reduced substantially their fertility since 1960 approximately. In this chapter we examine the extent to which changes in marriage patterns explain this generalized fertility decline. Fertility transition in Europe occurred without the help o f nuptiality changes, or even in spite of a marriage boom (Hajnal 1956; Watkins 1981; Dyson and Murphy 1985). Late age at marriage and widespread spinsterhood had brought about moderate levels of fertility long before the European transition, in what Coale has called a ‘first’ transition (Coale 1973). In developing countries, in contrast, prevalent patterns of almost universal and precocious marriage have suggested that important fertility decline can occur because of nuptiality changes. Several studies have, indeed, showed meaningful effects of marriage changes, particularly in East Asia. For example, Mauldin and Berelson (1978) found that delayed marriages account for 35-40 per cent of birth rate reductions in ten developing countries with major fertility declines. Cho and Retherford (1974) also estimated an important contribution of nuptiality to birth rate declines in seven Asian populations between 1960 and 1970, which range from 23 per cent in Taiwan to 102 per cent in the Philippines. The literature on nuptiality and its effect on fertility in developing countries has been dominated by observations from Asia and tropical Africa, however. Nuptiality and family patterns in Latin America are intermediate between those in Western Europe and those in Asia or Africa (Merrick 1986; De Vos 1987). The female mean age at marriage is 22 years and the proportion of never married women by age 50 is 13 per cent in Latin America as a whole, figures that contrast with, for example, 19 years and 2 per cent respectively in South Asia (United Nations 1988: table 5). Regional trends in Latin American nuptiality and their impact on fertility have not been well documented.Ítem Economic well-being among elderly couples in marriage and cohabitation in Mexico(Población y Salud en Mesoamérica, Volumen 6, Número 1, 2008) Brenes Camacho, GilbertIn Latin America, the proportion of people in middle and late age who are cohabiting is higherthan in industrialized countries. Some scholars consider cohabitation as an “incomplete”institution, where couples fare worse in economic and social well-being compared to marriage. The paper’s goal is to analyze whether cohabiting couples in old age face a different economic situation than married couples, and whether this difference is due to the fact that cohabiters mightbe a selected group from the general population . The analysis focuses on Mexican couples whereat least one of the partners was older than 49, by using the first wave of the Mexican Health and Aging Survey (MHAS) 2001 dataset, and part of the 2003 second wave. After controlling forcompositional variables (related to selection into consensual unions), the paper finds no significant difference in net worth, change in net worth (from 2001 to 2003), and perceived financial situation between married and cohabiting couples, but there is on the likelihood of owning a house.Ítem Un análisis de la relación a corto plazo entre fecundidad y matrimonio. España 1975-2013 = An analysis of the relationship between short term fertility and marriage. Spain 1975-2013(Población y Salud en Mesoaméica, Vol. 12, No. 2, art. 5, 2015) Díaz Fernández Montserrat; Llorente Marrón María del Mar; Méndez Rodríguez María PazCon objeto de analizar en qué medida nupcialidad y fecundidad constituyen variables relacionadas entre sí a lo largo del tiempo, se evalúa empíricamente un modelo que intenta capturar las relaciones temporales no causales entre ambos fenómenos en España. El análisis se aborda mediante un modelo de vectores autorregresivos y funciones impulso-respuesta. La información estadística utilizada proviene del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE, 2014a y 2014b). Se ha constatado una relación fluctuante entre ambos procesos y débilmente procíclica. Las actuaciones sobre la serie nacimientos generan efectos sobre la dinámica de ambas series, que muestran cierto comportamiento de influencia-liderazgo.
