Observation of the daily and seasonal activities of the Aymara Indians of southern Peru illustrates the effects of ecological pressures economic strategies and cultural preferences on reproductive behavior. Economic strategies are oriented toward risk reduction through diversification of productive activities including cultivation animal husbandry wage labor cash cropping and trade or transport. The most highly valued social relationships are those created by marriage. Social pressures especially from parents prevent young people from marrying until they are capable of supporting a family. Parents rely extensively on the labor of both younger and older children to free them for other tasks. The Aymara strive to attain a family size compatible with their environment and resources. In so doing they attempt to approximate a culturally prescribed ideal of 5 children. (authors modified) (summaries in ENG FRE SPA
