Abstract

La evidencia sociodemografica, historica y actual, indica que Guatemala se situa aun en medio de la transicion demografica con niveles elevados de mortalidad y de fecundidad. La mortalidad infantil esta en disminucion y alcanza a cerca de 6 muertes por 100 nacidos vivos; las probabilidades de morir antes de los 5 anos son mayores entre los segmentos menos privilegiados de la poblacion y han disminuido entre 1973 y 1981 (p23). Las disparidades en los niveles de mortalidad en la infancia se asocian en forma estrecha a la educacion de la madre y son el doble entre las mujeres sin educacion en comparacion con aquellas con algun grado de educacion secundaria. Estas disparidades han tendido a acentuarse entre 1973 y 1981 (p24).
