title: [Considerations on fertility among the black population of Brazil].
abstract: "The evolution of fertility of [the] black population in Brazil is examined, with reference to the period from 1940 to 1984.  In this analysis new elements and techniques are incorporated, in order to reconstruct the evolution of general fertility in the period, as well as estimates of marital fertility."  Based on studies of socio-occupational categories and educational levels, it is found that marital fertility is sensitive to differences among social groups depending on spouse's ethnic group.
