Resumen

RODRIGUEZ JAVIQUE, Daylin  y  MOLINA CINTRA, Matilde de la C.. Adolescent fertility in Cuba: some reflections on its behavior by provinces and areas of residence. Rev Nov Pob [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.23, pp.78-96. ISSN 1817-4078.

This paper aims to describe the adolescent fertility in Cuba during the period 2010-2014 and analyze its proximate determinants both nationally and by territory. Based on the data published in Demographic Yearbook, Studies and Data of the Population and birth databases of the National Bureau of Statistics and Information (ONEI), adolescent fertility rates in Cuba are calculated according to the groups 10- 14 and 15-19, by province and area of residence. In addition, data on family formation, contraception and abortion of Cuban adolescents are shown. These elements could allow hypothesizing about the behavior of adolescent fertility in Cuba. The first important result is that fertility among 15-19 years group had a slight decrease in the period; however, the 10-14 years group has increased its level. On the other hand, the analysis by area of residence shows that urban fertility has gained prominence in the Cuban provinces, with an increase between 2010 and 2012 in more than half of them. Similarly, about a third of the provinces analyzed show higher levels of adolescent fertility in urban areas than in rural areas. High rates of abortion in adolescence, which exceeds fertility rates in ten provinces of the country; early onset of sexual intercourse and first marriage, and improper use of contraceptive methods, are elements worth looking into in order to find explanations to the reproductive behavior of Cuban adolescents.

Palabras clave : Adolescent fertility; fertility; proximate determinants of adolescent fertility.
