Fertility rates significantly fell over the last decades in Latin America. In order to assess the extent to which these changes contributed to the observed reduction in income poverty and inequality, we apply microeconometric decomposition to microdata from national household surveys from seven Latin American countries. We find that changes in fertility rates were associated with a nonnegligible reduction in inequality and poverty in the region. The main channel was straightforward: lower fertility implied smaller families and hence larger per capita incomes. Lower fertility also fostered labor force participation, especially among women, which contributed to the reduction of poverty and inequality in most countries, although the size of this effect was smaller.

En este texto analizamos las repercusiones que pueden tener diferentes escenarios demográficos y económicos sobre el bienestar de las familias. Elegimos un conjunto de países que en los albores del siglo xxi muestran importantes diferencias en el grado de avance de la transición demográfica y los niveles de desarrollo socioeconómico. Con base en tabulaciones especiales de las encuestas de hogares elaboradas por Cepal, comparamos a Argentina y Uruguay que se encuentran en etapas más avanzadas de la primera transición demográfica; Brasil y México que atraviesan por una fase menos avanzada, y Honduras y Nicaragua que, por el contrario, se encuentran en un estadio más temprano de dicha transición. La comparación entre los rasgos familiares y socioeconómicos del conjunto de países seleccionados arroja distintos escenarios sociales que nos permitirán mostrar cómo el cruce entre las dimensiones sociodemográfica y socioeconómica incide diferencialmente sobre la organización del mundo familiar y las formas de convivencia. AbstractThis text analyzes the repercussions of different demographic and economic scenarios on families’ well-being. The authors chose a set of countries, which, at the beginning of the 21st century, show significant differences in the degree of progress of the demographic transition and levels of socio-demographic development. On the base of special tabulations of the household surveys compiled by Cepal, the authors compared Argentina and Uruguay, which are at more advanced stages of the first demographic transition; Brazil and Mexico, currently at a less advanced stage and Honduras and Nicaragua, which are at an earlier stage of this transition. A comparison of the family and socio-economic features of the set of countries chosen reveals different social scenarios enabling the authors to show how the intersection between socio-demographic and socio-economic dimensions has a different effect on the organization of the family sphere and forms of coexistence.
