Progress in providing legal abortion services after law reform
Argentina’s 2021 abortion law grants the right to abortion on-request up to 14 weeks’ gestation, as well as continuing to allow abortion after 14 weeks on specific grounds. The early years after law reform provide a unique opportunity to assess progress and identify barriers, to both inform program improvements and guide other countries undergoing reform. This study assesses the first two years of law implementation. We surveyed a purposive sampl…

Evaluating the measurement reliabilities and dimensionality of developmental idealism measures
This paper investigates the measurement of developmental idealism. Developmental idealism is a set of beliefs and values stating that modern societies and families are better than traditional ones, that modern families facilitate modern societies, and that modern societies foster modern families. Prior research has shown that developmental idealism is widespread globally but has provided little evidence about whether beliefs concerning developmen…
La iniciación sexual entre mujeres de sectores vulnerables en cuatro provincias argentinas
Este artículo examina el calendario y contexto en el que ocurre la iniciación sexual en base a una encuesta a 1571 mujeres adolescentes y jóvenes en tres capitales provinciales y en el área metropolitana de Buenos Aires. En primer lugar, se analiza la edad a la que ocurre el debut sexual para las diferentes generaciones. Seguidamente, se aborda el rol que juegan el contexto de crianza, la escolaridad y el inicio de relaciones románticas en precip…
Influences on the knowledge and beliefs of ordinary people about developmental hierarchies
This article is motivated by the idea that development and developmental hierarchies have been constructed and embraced for centuries by scholars and policy makers and have been disseminated among ordinary people. Recent research shows that most people have constructions of development hierarchies that are similar across countries. In this article, we extend this research by examining how basic social factors influence ordinary people’s beliefs a…
International Fertility Change
Many scholars have offered structural and ideational explanations for the fertility changes occurring around the world. This paper focuses on the influence of developmental idealism—a schema or set of beliefs endorsing development, fertility change, and causal connections between development and fertility. Developmental idealism is argued to be an important force affecting both population policy and the fertility behavior of ordinary people. We p…
Knowledge and beliefs about national development and developmental hierarchies
El fracaso educativo
El interés de este informe es comprender los factores determinantes de los embarazos en adolescentes y cómo estos influyen en las trayectorias educativas, preocupación que se deriva de la relación inversa entre los resultados de la educación y la fecundidad en las adolescentes. A través de entrevistas exhaustivas con 118 mujeres los autores muestran las diferencias de las trayectorias educativas de adolescentes y adultas embarazadas en vecindario…
Iniciación sexual, asistencia escolar y embarazo adolescente en sectores populares de Asunción y Lima
A partir del análisis y comparación de las experiencias de vida de dos grupos de mujeres de sectores populares en cada país, quienes fueron madres en la adolescencia y quienes lo fueron más tarde, el presente trabajo reseña los hallazgos vinculados con los determinantes próximos del embarazo precoz, más precisamente en el contexto en el que ocurre la iniciación sexual, el conocimiento y uso de métodos de prevención, y el rol que cumple el entorno…
Adolescent Pregnancy in Argentina
In Argentina adolescent pregnancy is still regarded as a public health problem or a “social epidemic”. However, it is necessary to ask from which perspective and for whom it is a problem, and what type of problem. This article presents the findings of a large quantitative and qualitative study conducted in five Northern provinces and two metropolitan areas of Argentina in 2003–2004. Based on the results of a survey of adolescent mothers (n=1,645)…

Separations, Reconciliations, and Living Apart in Cohabiting and Marital Unions
Using data from a panel study of White young adults containing complete marital and cohabiting union histories from age 15 through 31, our goal is to track and compare the paths along which young adults arrange and time the entries and exits from marital and cohabiting unions. We focus on the incidence, duration, and outcomes of 2 dimensions that embrace residential separation: (a) separations that relate to discord in the relationship and (b) li…
The Reliability of Measurement and the Cross‐Time Stability of Individual and Family Variables
Using data from a 31‐year panel study, we evaluate both the reliability of measurement of family attitudes, relationships, and self‐concepts and the stability of these variables across time. We also compare the reliability of measurement and the stability of variables across time in these domains of family life with the reliability and stability of behavioral dimensions. Our results provide considerable support for the hypothesis that family rela…
