Demographic Responses to Economic Adjustment in Latin America - Hardcover

by Georges Tapinos (Editor), Andrew Mason (Editor), Jorge Bravo (Editor)

The papers in this volume address the influence of economic fluctuations upon mortality, fertility, and labor markets in the Latin America of the 1980s. Contributors attempt to distinguish short-term effects from long-term ones. Broader policy-related and institutional factors affecting the continent as a whole are examined alongside the demographic consequences of economic changes in individual countries.
