FERTILITY DECLINE AND CHANGES IN UNMET NEED FOR FAMILY PLANNING IN COUNTRIES OF LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

Abstract Since the 1960s, fertility levels dropped sharply in countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). While the classical demographic transition theory attributes this decline to economic development, the downward trends in the region are better explained by the increasing use of birth c...

description Abstract Since the 1960s, fertility levels dropped sharply in countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). While the classical demographic transition theory attributes this decline to economic development, the downward trends in the region are better explained by the increasing use of birth control technologies. The aim of this research is to examine changes of unmet need for family planning in eight countries of LAC and determine to what extent variations in unmet need have contributed to achieve lower fertility levels from 1990 to the present. Data was derived from Demographic and Health Surveys and Reproductive Health Surveys nationally representative. Based on the revised definition of unmet need used to monitor the MDG5, this article presents a descriptive analysis of changes in unmet need in each country and analyses the relationship between fertility decline and unmet need through regression analysis. Results show that all countries record decreasing percentages of unmet need over time and that fertility decline is positively associated with unmet need.

The aim of this research is to examine changes of unmet need for family planning in eight countries of LAC and determine to what extent variations in unmet need have contributed to achieve lower fertility levels from 1990 to the present.

Results show that all countries record decreasing percentages of unmet need over time and that fertility decline is positively associated with unmet need. Desde la década de 1960, los niveles de fecundidad disminuyeron abruptamente en los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Mientras que la teoría de la transición demográfica clásica atribuye esta caída al desarrollo económico, las tendencias declinantes observadas en la región resultan ser mejor explicadas por el creciente uso de técnicas para el control de los nacimientos. El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar los cambios en las necesidades insatisfechas de planificación familiar en ocho países de ALC y determinar hasta qué punto sus variaciones han contribuido a alcanzar menores niveles de fecundidad desde 1990 hasta la actualidad. Los datos fueron derivados de Encuestas de Demografía y Salud y de Encuestas de Salud Reproductiva efectuadas a nivel nacional. Basado en la definición revisada de necesidad insatisfecha, utilizada para monitorear el ODM5, este artículo presenta un análisis descriptivo de los cambios en esta variable en los países involucrados y examina la relación entre la caída de la fecundidad y las necesidades insatisfechas de planificación familiar mediante un análisis de regresión. Los resultados muestran que todos los países registran porcentajes decrecientes de necesidad insatisfecha a lo largo del tiempo y que existe una asociación positiva entre la caída de la fecundidad y las necesidades insatisfechas de planificación familiar.. Resumo Desde a década de 1960, os níveis de fertilidade diminuíram acentuadamente nos países da América Latina e do Caribe (ALC). Enquanto a teoria clássica da transição demográfica atribui essa queda ao desenvolvimento econômico, as tendências decrescentes observadas na região são melhor explicadas pelo uso crescente de técnicas de controle de natalidade. O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar as mudanças nas necessidades de planejamento familiar não atendidas em oito países da ALC e determinar em que medida suas variações contribuíram para menores níveis de fertilidade de 1990 para o presente. Os dados foram derivados de pesquisas demográficas e de saúde e pesquisas nacionais sobre saúde reprodutiva. Com base na definição revisada de necessidade insatisfeita, usada para monitorar o ODM5, este artigo apresenta uma análise descritiva das mudanças nessa variável nos países envolvidos e examina a relação entre a queda da fertilidade e a necessidade não atendida de planejamento familiar através de uma Análise de regressão. Os resultados mostram que todos os países têm porcentagens em declínio de necessidades não atendidas ao longo do tempo e que existe uma associação positiva entre a fertilidade decrescente e as necessidades de planejamento familiar não atendidas.
