33-49 pages with tables and graphs. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Revista Mexicana de Sociologia Volume LII (52) Number 1 complete issue. First edition.
Although fertility levels in Latin America are not cause for concern at the present time there as yet no satisfactory explanations as to how the current situation has arisen. Progress in this area would make it possible to understand the reasons for the continuing existence of groups which have not begun or completed the fertility transition alongside others which re almost at replacement level. On the basis of an earlier study which described the women who pioneered reproductive change in Mexico, the present analysis seeks to determine, on the one had the reasons why those women voluntarily chose to regulate their fertility and, on the other the methods they used. In other words, using their accounts of their experiences, it identifies the actors which influenced the adoption of new Attitude towards reproduction and the means they sued in order to abandon the Quasi-natural" levels of fertility to which they had been subject. The conceptual framework used is that of the preconditions of readiness, willingness and ability in relation to reducing fertility, as proposed by Coale and revived by Lesthaeghe and Vanderhoeft. The information used is derived from 25 in-depth interview with women identified as pioneers. The existing studies report that in the 1960s, the transitional generations (born between 1942 and 1946) already fulfilled the conditions established by Coale. The pioneering women's parents' generation b3egan with a certain rationality which caused them to invest in longer educations for their daughters. As a result, the pioneering women were socialized in an environment permeated by that rationality together with openness to change. The openness was reflected in, among other things, a positive attitude to fertility regulation and rapid adoption of the birth control methods that were available at the time.
