| Popis: | Introduction: Between 2001 and 2014, fertility in Argentina showed little variation. Subsequently, from 2015 to 2021, there was a sharp decline, placing its total fertility rate (TFR) below 2.1 children per woman from 2018 onwards. This study analyzes the regional dynamics of these changes, considering modifications in the reproductive calendar. Methodology: A quantitative analysis is presented where TFR, specific fertility rates (SFR), non-conditioned TFR by birth order (TFRi), general mean ages at maternity (MAM) and mean ages at first maternity (MAM1), and TFR adjusted for tempo effects (TFR*) are calculated. Births by maternal age and birth order were provided by the Directorate of Statistics and Health Information (DEIS) of the Ministry of Health, and population estimates were obtained from projections calculated by INDEC. Results: Between 2010 and 2014, regions experienced slight declines in fertility, with relatively stable MAM and TFR* trends. From 2015 to 2021, all regions positioned their TFR below 2.1 children per woman, concentrated most births in the 25-29 age group of women, and showed increases in tempo effects. Conclusions: The significant recent reduction in fertility in Argentina's regions is estimated to be associated with delayed reproductive timing. |
