[Birth spacing in Puerto Rico].
This paper uses life table methods to analyze the process of family formation in Puerto Rico. Despite a continuing decline in fertility, the pattern of birth spacing is very rapid with a big proportion of short intergenesic intervals. This indicates a clear distinction between spacing and stopping behavior. Some possible health implications are discussed.
