title: [The fertility transition in Latin America].
abstract: "In this article fertility behaviour is analyzed between 1950 and 1990, and Latin American countries are classified according to the stages of the transition process.  The analysis of fertility decline by age of women indicates that the decrease was more pronounced in women 30 years and over, due principally to a broader access to family planning services.  Differences in fertility behaviour by level of urbanization, education and occupation were also analyzed." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
