contents An Event History Analysis of Latin American Migrant Couples Maite Michell Gómez-Gómez Adriana Carolina Silva-Arias Jaime Andrés Sarmiento-Espinel Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) marriage familiar fertility Migration decisions human capital of migrants The purpose of this paper was to study the association between migration and reproductive decisions in Mexico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Colombia. An event history analysis was used to study the fertility and migration decisions made by a sample of couples from those countries. This study found a disruption in fertility before migrating. After the migration event and settlement, fertility increased to the same levels as the place of origin for migrants who stayed longer at their destination, particularly for those who migrated to the United States. Couples in which only the man migrated had a higher migratory prevalence. These men were young and had low human capital. Although the proportion of couples in which both members migrated was low, those couples stayed longer at their destination and their fertility disruption before migrating was highest. 2021 artículo científico 1657-6357 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=99668843002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/996/99668843002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/996/99668843002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/996/99668843002/99668843002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/996/99668843002/movil 10.25100/sye.v0i42.8700 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=996 Sociedad y economía application/pdf Universidad del Valle Sociedad y economía (Colombia) Num.42
