Núcleo Disca

Andrea Yupanqui-Concha y Cristian A. Aranda Farías

Summary:

“At a crucial historical moment, this book sheds light on the questions arising from the alarming decline in birth rates globally, and especially in Chile. This compilation, in which we find a wide range of researchers presenting their investigations and reflections, demonstrates that what is beginning to be understood globally, and in public opinion, as a problem, has a group of academics, intellectuals, and activists in our country reflecting on and proposing its causes and policies for solutions. This pluralistic argument allows us to understand “motherhood” in Chile, on the one hand, and the decline in birth rates, on the other, as the product of multiple factors that go beyond purely economic explanations. It is, therefore, a book that offers insights that enrich the debate, but above all—and perhaps therein lies its true contribution—that continues to raise questions.”
