We carry out a retrospective descriptive study on the behavior of some demographic indicators, fundamentally those related with the fecundity, in the Municipality “Plaza de la Revolución” during the year 2006. We observe the population's prevalence in the ages stockings of the life, that is to say, between 30 and 49 years, and of the feminine sex. We also find a great populational aging being the 60 year-old population and more the 23.93% of the total. When analyzing the different rates that conform the study of the fecundity, we observe that the gross rate of natality (TBN), the rate of general fecundity (TFG), the gross rate of reproduction (TBR) and the global rate of fecundity (TGF), they presented very low values for what the municipality presents very low levels of fecundity, they happen very few births and the populational substitution is not assured. In general very few births take place and the population is more and more aged, similar situation happens at national level comparable with the developed countries.
