Abstract

Luego de repasar las razones que despertaron el interés de los estudiosos por la fecundidad adolescente, en este artículo se revisan los conocimientos sobre los aspectos sociales que inciden en las diferencias en maternidad adolescente en América Latina. Entre los aspectos macrosociales se destacan las políticas públicas y entre los del contexto social próximo, el lugar de residencia de las jóvenes, la disponibilidad de recursos para la atención en salud reproductiva y la anticoncepción, la estructura familiar y la interacción con los padres, otros adultos y el grupo de pares. También se abordan características individuales, entre las que se cuentan la edad, el estrato socioeconómico, el nivel de educación y la pertenencia a grupos étnicos. Por último, se analiza el efecto en la conducta reproductiva de las adolescentes de sus percepciones, actitudes y conocimientos de aspectos de la reproducción y la anticoncepción, para finalizar con breves consideraciones sobre las posibles causas de la lentitud relativa del descenso de la fecundidad adolescente.
