Resumen
ROJAS MARTINEZ, Olga Lorena. The importance of having a male child and some changes in father-child relationship in Mexico. Pap. poblac [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.48, pp.181-204. ISSN 2448-7147.
In a context of significant social and demographic transformations, this work analyzes the changes that may exist in Mexican male attitudes towards two important family issues: the importance of having at least one male child; and the changes in the relationship between parents and their children regarding education and discipline. To answer these inquiries we analyze data coming from two sources: 1) a qualitative study based on 16 male in-depth interviews, made at the end of the last decade; and 2) a National Reproductive Survey on male population applied in 2003. Interesting findings we get when doing such research considering the social and economical inequalities of Mexican population as well as generational distances.
