Abstract

En las últimas décadas, las tendencias observadas con la segunda transición demográfica se han visto aceleradas para todos los grupos poblacionales: reducción en la fertilidad; caída en las tasas de matrimonio e incremento en las tasas de cohabitación, separación y divorcio; desconexión entre la procreación y la unión legal; aumento de la concepción de los hijos por fuera del matrimonio. Estos patrones no han sido homogéneos en la población: la evidencia empírica permite apreciar un gradiente socioeconómico marcado, con raíces y dinámicas muy diferentes en cada caso. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo explorar los efectos de diversas características y estructuras familiares sobre el desarrollo de los niños y jóvenes. Con tal propósito, se analizará literatura internacional de múltiples disciplinas, intentando orientar la mirada empírica hacia los casos (menos estudiados) de América Latina y en particular, de la Argentina. A pesar de que la evidencia recogida en este trabajo es muy sugestiva, múltiples estudios son necesarios para avanzar en la comprensión de las estructuras de los hogares en distintos segmentos socioeconómicos y su efecto sobre el desarrollo y el bienestar de las personas.
