Abstract

En las ultimas décadas, los paises de America Latina experimentaron una reduccion en el numero de hijos promedio por hogar, lo cual no se dio en forma uniforme a lo largo de la distribucion del ingreso. Este trabajo busca cuantificar el impacto distributivo de los cambios en las decisiones de fecundidad en cinco paises de America Latina: Argentina, Brasil, Chile, El Salvador y Uruguay. Utilizando encuestas de hogares, y mediante metodologias de microdes- composicion, se desarrollan escenarios contrafacticos de la distribucion del ingreso de forma de descomponer el efecto asociado de los cambios en las decisiones de fecundidad. Los resultados muestran que los cambios en las decisiones de fecundidad tuvieron un efecto igualador sobre la distribucion del ingreso, junto con un efecto reductor de la pobreza.
