América Latina y el Caribe es la región con la mayor caída en la fecundidad del mundo: motivos y posibles consecuencias

Latin America and the Caribbean experienced the world's largest fertility decline, with a 69% drop since 1960, reaching a current rate of 1.8 children per woman.
This decline stems from cultural shifts, greater individualism, increased gender equality, educational expansion, job opportunities for women, and near-perfect contraception control.
In the region, socioeconomic inequality causes polarization, where lower strata show higher and earlier fertility and unwanted pregnancies, while others delay or avoid childbearing.
Experts note Chile , Brazil , and Colombia have fertility below the replacement rate of 2.1, and UN projections expect this trend to continue, risking population decline.
The decline implies challenges such as population aging and social security pressure, while women often view motherhood as jeopardizing work and social mobility, influencing reproductive decisions.
