GONZALEZ GALBAN, Humberto; PALMA, Yolanda y MONTES, María de Lourdes. Regional analysis of the proximate determinants of fecundity in Mexico. Pap. poblac [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.51, pp.213-245. ISSN 2448-7147.
The important reduction of fertility levels is a known fact in Mexico, but territorial differences are still noticed on this matter, which is conditioned to ruling uneven regional development and its repercussion in the local demographic situation. In this work, the regional analysis of direct determinants of the fecundity levels is approached, as a means to better understand the proposed problematic. Contraception, sexual intercourse, post-partum infertility and voluntary interruption of pregnancy are studied with a recent source of information, and by means of the proximate determinants method, modified by Stover, already applied in other Latin American countries and whose results for Mexico and its regions are shown in this paper.
