Abstract

[fre] Le rythme de constitution des familles, c'est-à-dire les délais entre mariage et première naissance, ou entre naissances successives, est une composante de la natalité dont le rôle a été peu étudié jusqu'ici. Or, d'une époque à l'autre, d'un groupe social à l'autre, ce rythme est susceptible de variations d'assez grande ampleur, même si la descendance finale ne change que peu. La répartition des familles selon leur nombre d'enfant est un facteur explicatif notable mais insuffisant de ces différences. Les variations de ce rythme d'une époque à l'autre produisent des variations substantielles sur la natalité, difficiles à apprécier à l'aide de données conjoncturelles. Cependant on peut établir que le nombre de naissances supplémentaires dues à une accélération de ce rythme est responsable de la naissance d'une génération supplémentaire en France, au cours de la période 1940-1965. [eng] The rhythm of families composition, in other words the time required between marriage and birth of first child, or between the following births, is a component of natality whose importance has scarcely been studied up-to-now. Therefore, from period to period, from social category to social category, the above-mentioned rhythm is liable to be affected by rather important variations, even if final descent is slightly affected. Families distribution, according to the number of their children, constitutes an explanatory though unsufficient factor of such differences. The variations of this rhythm, from period to period, produce substantial variations on natality, variations difficult to explain with the help of cyclical data. Nevertheless, it is liable establishing that the number of additional births, due to an acceleration of this rhythm, is responsible for the birth, in France, of an additional generation in the course of the period extending from 1940 to 1965. [spa] El ritmo al que se constituyen las familias, o en otras palabras, el tiempo transcurrido entre el matrimonio y el nacimiento del primer hijo, o entre los sucesivos nacimientos, es un componente de la natalidad, cuyo papel fué escasamente estudiado hasta la fecha. Así pues, de una época otra, de un grupo social a otro, ese ritmo puede presentar variaciones de suma consideración, incluso si la descendencia final cambia escasamente. La distribución de las familias según el número de sus hijos constituye un factor explicativo si bien insuficiente con relación a dichas variaciones. Las variaciones en el antecitado ritmo producen de una época a otra variaciones importantes relativas a natalidad, las que son difïcilmente apreciables mediante datos coyunturales. No obstante, es factible asentar que el número de nacimientos suplementarios, debidos a una acceleración de dicho ritmo, es responsable del nacimiento de una generación suplementaria en Francia en el transcurso del periodo que va de 1940 a 1945.
