Planificación familiar y fecundidad de la población indígena en el México urbano

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the relationship between the three indigenous groups of generations fertility levels, the type of birth, the place of birth and the use of contraceptive methods to de-scribe how it has influenced these generations the fertility medicalization. In the same way, the events sequence mentioned above in the life course of indigenous women is explored and a lo-gistic model is adjusted. The data source used is the Retrospective Demographic Survey of 2011. The results showed that the trajectories associated with the fertility medicalization, especially hospital birth and cesarean birth, are strongly associated with the offspring reduction in both indigenous and total women.
