Book excerpt: In the second half of the 20th century, the region of Latin America and the Caribbean experienced important sociological and demographic changes with far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. While fertility declined sharply, sexual and reproductive health gained increasing attention, and child morbidity and mortality largely improved, limited research has investigated how these processes vary across ethnoracial identity, rural-urban residence, and national origin. Using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data (1986-2017) for Latin America and the Caribbean, this dissertation explores heterogeneities in ethnoracial identity, rural-urban residence, and national origin on fertility, sexual and reproductive health, and child health outcomes. Across three empirical chapters, this dissertation tests these associations using a framework that is contextual, multilevel, and comparative, seeking to elucidate significant inequalities in this region. The first empirical chapter relies on DHS data for seven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, and Peru) to measure and explain rural-urban disparities in fertility for women with different levels of educational attainment. The second empirical chapter also relies on DHS data for seven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, and Peru) to assess rural-urban differences in unintended pregnancies, contraceptive nonuse, and terminated pregnancies. Finally, the third empirical chapter uses DHS data for four countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, and Peru) to explore ethnoracial differences in child under-5 mortality, stunting, wasting, and anemia. Overall, this dissertation advances our understanding of sociological and demographic processes in a largely understudied developing region. It makes numerous important contributions to the literature: providing a holistic understanding of heterogeneities in fertility, sexual and reproductive health, and child health outcomes; measuring and explaining disparities after controlling for geographic, socioeconomic, individual, and reproductive characteristics; providing an assessment of child health disparities across ethnoracial groups; and relying on all DHS data waves for multiple countries over more than thirty years. This dissertation finds significant inequalities in fertility, sexual and reproductive health, and child health outcomes by ethnoracial identity, rural-urban residence, and national origin in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960s saw the start of a sustained process of declining fertility in Latin America resulting from radical social, attitudinal, and economic changes. There has been a clear trend towards more or less generalized behaviour of regulating fertility, coincident with a rise in the availability and use of methods of contraception. There are, however, important differences between and within the countries of the region, which are analysed in full in this volume. Whether one stratifies by demographic factors, place of residence, education, or social status, from the beginning of the transition, it seems that a variety of reproductive patterns were in existence. It is also clear that the process of transition is not yet complete and that in some important social groups, fertility is still high. This volume studies the process of transition from high to low fertility as it has occurred and is occurring in Latin America. It provides a general comparative overview of transition in the region in which the link between socio-economic development and declining fertility is explored. There are sections on the process through which the transition occurs, social determinants of fertility change, and the consequences of fertility decline. Large data sets from census and survey results for many countries and points in time are presented in over 150 tables and figures. The comparative analyses are complemented by five individual country studies in the final section.

Book excerpt: En el presente informe se han utilizado datos obtenidos en la region de las Americas. Esta informacion presenta evidencia cientifica que sirve de apoyo a los Paises Miembros para que se decidan a incluir, fortalecer y mejorar las actividades de regulacion de la fecundidad en los programas nacionales de atencion primaria de salud. Tambien podra servir como mecanismo para promover la planificacion familiar como una accion necesaria e importante para lograr y mantener la salud, permitiendo al mismo tiempo disminuir la mortalidad y morbilidad maternoinfantil, y mejorar la calidad de vida de la familia en el hemisferio occidental, especialmente en los paises de America Latina y el Caribe. Con objeto de describir las causas de riesgos para la salud relacionadas con los tres factores mencionados anteriormente, se presentan en las diversas secciones de este trabajo varias proposiciones basadas en la experiencia mundial. Estas proposiciones, que fueron formuladas por el autor (Omran 1981), describen un panorama mas amplio de las relaciones entre salud y la formacion de la familia que lo que normalmente se espera de las publicaciones latinoamericanas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses micro-level data for 18 Latin American countries to examine the choices adolescents make in three areas of behavior: their time allocation toward school and work, their sexual behavior and fertility, and their adoption of adult roles as they marry or cohabitate. Analyzing these issues comparatively across countries provides a richer contrast of the broad range of behavior among youth around the region than traditional country studies. The analysis pays particular attention to the accumulation of human capital, a key determinant of living standards at the individual level and social progress at the aggregate level.

Drawing on the authors' detailed analyses, the book describes twenty-three policies and programs that youth development experts agree are the basis of a quality youth development portfolio, from early childhood development programs to parent training to cash transfers for positive behaviors. It also lays out strategies for implementing this effective youth portfolio in a budget-constrained environment by reallocation of resources away from.

Book excerpt: Over the next 20 years, most low-income countries will, for the first time, become more urban than rural. Understanding demographic trends in the cities of the developing world is critical to those countries - their societies, economies, and environments. The benefits from urbanization cannot be overlooked, but the speed and sheer scale of this transformation presents many challenges. In this uniquely thorough and authoritative volume, 16 of the world's leading scholars on urban population and development have worked together to produce the most comprehensive and detailed analysis of the changes taking place in cities and their implications and impacts. They focus on population dynamics, social and economic differentiation, fertility and reproductive health, mortality and morbidity, labor force, and urban governance. As many national governments decentralize and devolve their functions, the nature of urban management and governance is undergoing fundamental transformation, with programs in poverty alleviation, health, education, and public services increasingly being deposited in the hands of untested municipal and regional governments. Cities Transformed identifies a new class of policy maker emerging to take up the growing responsibilities. Drawing from a wide variety of data sources, many of them previously inaccessible, this essential text will become the benchmark for all involved in city-level research, policy, planning, and investment decisions.
