Abstract

This study aimed to analyze, comparatively, the reproductive
behavior of Latin-American foreign-born women settled in the
two main destination countries of this group: United States and
Spain. The mentioned objective is conducted by an analysis of
the main births and fertility indicators. Considering the
previous works on this topic, these indicators were analyzed in
comparison with the ones of native population in each
destination country, and between both destination countries. In
each case the findings showed differences in the patterns with
regard to intensity and timing, with only partial convergence
of migrants' reproductive patterns to those of the local
population.
