The fertility level for women population according to their pupilage at the state level is considered by the authors, in order to observe the relation between the magnitude of the differentials and the demographic transition stage of the federal entities; at the time as the continuum of this process is placed in three groups: behind the studies, intermediate or advanced ones. Furthermore, it is observed the potential relationship between infant and child mortality and fertility through the denominated "replacement effect". The acquired results by means of the computation of the family's evolution suggest that that child mortality increases the fertility of a women compared to those who has lost a child.
