Abstract

[fre] Jusqu'en 1972, les femmes conçoivent en proportion croissante leur premier enfant en dehors du mariage. Mais elles se marient le plus souvent avant sa naissance. La croissance des conceptions hors mariage s'interrompt ensuite, avec la diffusion des moyens de contraception modernes. Elle reprend à partir de 1978. Elle n'est plus due aux femmes très jeunes, comme dans les années soixante, mais à des femmes un peu plus âgées. Ces conceptions se terminent de plus en plus souvent par des naissances hors mariage. . Le lien entre première naissance et mariage s'est aussi distendu à l'intérieur même du mariage. Autrefois, les conceptions des premiers mois étaient très fréquentes. Aujourd'hui, elles ne sont guère plus probables qu'au cours des deux ou trois années ultérieures. . Ces mouvements ont débuté plus tôt pour les couples dont l'homme était un cadre, et plus encore quand la femme était elle-même très diplômée. Le recul de l'âge au premier accouchement, phénomène désormais général, s'est aussi produit plus tôt pour les femmes les plus diplômées. [eng] Marriage and the first child : a loosening link - Until 1972, women had been conceiving their first child in an increasing proportion outside of the institution of marriage. But, in most cases, they were marrying before the birth of the child. The growth of the rate of conceptions outside of marriage was then interrupted by the diffusion of modern means of contraception. Starting in 1 978, the trend began again. It was attributable not to very young women, as had been the case in the 1960s, but to slightly older ones. These conceptions have terminated more and more often in births outside of marriage. . The link between first births and marriage has also loosened within marriage itself. Before, conceptions within the first months of marriage were very frequent. Today, they are scarcely more probable than in the course of the following two or three years. . These shifts started earlier among couples where the man was a cadre and even more so where the woman herself was highly educated. The advancing of a woman's age at the time of a first birth, now a general phenomenon, also occurred earlier among the most educated women. [spa] Matrimonio y primer hijo : un vínculo que desaparece - Hasta 1972 las mujeres concebían en mayor proporción su primer hijo fuera de matrimonio. Pero contraen matrimonio con mayor frecuencia antes de su nacimiento. El incremento de . concepciones fuera de matrimonio se interrumpe seguidamente con la extension de los medios anticonceptivos modernos. Se inicia de nuevo a partir de 1978. Ya no concierne a las mujeres muy jóvenes, como fué el caso en los años del sesenta, si no a mujeres algo mayores. Estas concepciones rematan con más y más frecuencia en nacimientos fuera del matrimonio. El vinculo entre el nacimiento del primogenito y el contraer matrimonio ha variado en el propio matrimonio. Antario las concepciones de los primeros meses eran muy frecuentes. Hoy dia ya no son más probables que en el transcurso de los dos o tres años anteriores. . Estos movimientos se iniciaron mes bien con relaciôn a parejas cuyo varôn era cuadro diri- gente, y mâs aun cuando la mujer disfrutaba de varios diplomas. El retrasar la edad del primer parto, fenômeno hoy dia generalizado, se produjo también con antelaciôn respecto a mujeres mâs cargadas de diplomas.
