Abstract

[fre] De plus en plus de naissances hors mariage . En 1990, plus de 30 % des enfants sont nés en France hors mariage, ce qui place notre pays au deuxième rang parmi ceux de la communauté européenne, derrière le Danemark. La proportion de naissances hors mariage enregistre depuis les années soixante une croissance qui s'est fortement accélérée au cours de la dernière décennie. Dans le même temps, les contrastes liés à la distinction entre les naissances d'enfants naturels et les naissances légitimes s'estompent : les disparités géographiques ou sociales sont moins sensibles, tandis que mariées ou non, les femmes ont aujourd'hui des enfants plus . divement. Les naissances hors mariage ont-elles acquis un statut social ? C'est ce qu'indique le nombre croissant d'enfants naturels reconnus dès leur naissance par leur père, ainsi que le plus grand nombre de conceptions prénuptiales ultérieurement régularisées par un mariage. Même la répartition saisonnière des naissances hors mariage se rapproche de celle des autres naissances : elles semblent bien ainsi l'aboutissement d'un projet délibéré, alignant les couples non mariés sur le modèle traditionnel de la famille. [eng] An Increasing Number of Illegitimate Births . In 1990, more than 30% of the children born in France were born out of wedlock, which puts France in the second place behind Denmark in the European Community. The proportion of illegitimate births, which has been growing since the sixties, has greatly increased over the last decade. Simultaneously, the differences associated to the distinction between illegitimate and legitimate births have become less visible: geographical or social disparities are less noticeable, and today both married and unmarried women have children later in life. Have births out of lock acquired social status? That is what is indicated by the increasing number of natural children who are recognized by their fathers as soon as they are born, as well as the higher number of pre-nuptial conceptions which are later legitimized by marriage. Even the seasonal distribution of births out of wedlock has become closer to that of other births: thus they seem to be the result of deliberate planning, thereby placing unmarried couples in the traditional family pattern. [spa] Se registra un numéro cada vez mayor de nacimentos fuera del matrimonio . En el transcurso de 1990, mâs de un 30% de los naci- mientos en Francia se registre fuera del vînculo matrimonial. Tal situaciôn coloca a este pais en el segundo puesto dentro de la comunicad europea, luego de Dinamarca. La proporciôn de nacimientos fuera del matrimonio registre desde los anos 60 un crecimiento que se acelerô vertigi- nosamente durante la ultima década. Al mismo tiempo, los contrastes ligados a la distinciôn entre los nacimientos de hijos naturales y legitimos tienden a disminuir. Por otra parte, las disparidades geogrâficas o sociales son menos perceptibles y en la actualidad las mujeres, que estén casadas o no, tienen hijos mâs tardiamente. . Uno se puede preguntar si los nacimientos fuera del matrimonio adquirieron un estatuto social. Esto parece estar corroborado por el numéro creciente de hijos naturales reconocidos a su nacimiento por el padre asî como el numéro cada vez mayor de nacimientos prenupciales ulte- riormente regularizados por el matrimonio. . Incluso la reparticiôn en distintos perîodos del ano de los nacimientos fuera del matrimonio se asemeja a la de los otros nacimientos: éstos constituyen el punto de Ilegada de un proyecto previamente elaborado que situa a las parejas no casadas en el marco del modelo tradicional de la familia.
