Advance made in numerou area have broadened the range of approache and information that can be brought to bear in the elicitation and interpretation of fir t per on accounts. Furthermore, in the u e of uch accounts, di ciplinary demarcation have declined a it ha become clear that each di cipline can benefit from a common confrontation of hared dilemma.

cal divi ion . And "per onal te timony" ha emerged a an arena within which convergent under tanding may be fo tered, bringing ariou tradition clo er while clarifying their difference and com pie mentaritie . Whether the u e large number of que tionnaire or collect detailed ethnographic de cription , ocial cienti t eeking to learn how the world work ,
or once did 0, grapple with difficultie inherent in under tanding and decoding meaning. The tudy of per onal te timony draw attention to the con truction of meaning in autobiographical narration even a it focu e upon the information provided. The information which emerge when people recount their experience differ from the kind elicited when individual an wer precodified que tion . Life hi torie , memoir , diarie , and the like characteri tically adopt freer form than do tightly tructured que tionnaire . The narrator may mold the tale to a much greater extent in the former ca e than in the latter. The tandardization of re pon e achieved through rigidly tructured inquiry facilitate the application of tati -
tical technique by ensuring comparability and con-equently al 0 favor the development of gener
alization , replication , and prediction . Comparability, generalization, and prediction appear more difficult in reference to the open narrative emerging from per onal te timony. But in the flow of autobiographical accounts, the connection that cement the many dimen ions of experience emerge more clearly. By allowing the narrator freer rein, then, uch narrative potentially yield in ight into unfore een or mi apprehended facets of individual and collective experience while providing the grounding for refined analy e at numerou levels-the tructural, interactional, and rhetorical, for example.
A a concern of ocial cience, "acce ing" experience ha led to a earch for new ource and for new analytical method . Data-collecting in titution are a king increa ing number of people to record behavior and experience in diarie . And notwith tanding its long-term he itation about adopting a diary-ba ed methodology, for over a decade the U. . Government ha u ed controlled diary collection a one ource upon which to build the Con umer Price Index. Diarie -like letter, memoir , and oral hi torie -<an perform a "recording function." But they can al 0 be tudied for the ubjective perception they convey. uch perception are of equal importance to re earcher engaged in analy e of both the pa t and the pre ent and erve to define per onal te timony a a meeting ground for "po itivi t" and "critical" ocial cienti ts.
Moreover, cientific ocial inquiry increa ingly ad-

Appropriate control mechani m can correct the re-ulting di tortion . But uch di tortion may al 0 be
u ed to advantage in re earch: to gain in ight into the workings of language and the functioning of memor , into the contextuality of accounts, and into the wa . in which variou ituation tructure information. In deriving uch in ight, urvey re earcher , and those adopting imilar approache , can benefit from exchange with ocial cienti ts working in the interpretive tradition, a well a with humani ts for whom the analy i of the functioning of language, memor', ymboli m, contextuality, and the relation hip of in
terpretation to ob ervation, like the framework organizing belief and knowledge, have traditionally been of central importance.
Per onal te timony rai e a major que tion: What i it that we learn when people peak about them elve ? Thi que tion become of immediate concern to the general public when debate, like tho e recently parked by trial related to child abu e and to chil
dren' exuality, revolve around the value inherent in the declaration of witne e and deal with i ue of wide pread concern. Beyond the fluctuation of public intere t, thi que tion i of central importance to humani ts and ocial cienti ts of differing per ua-ion. The problematic relation hip that bind per
ception, memory, and the interpretation of ocial event and proce e i central to novelists like Milan Kundera and to ocial scientists like AlbertJ. Rei ,Jr. While Milan Kundera wrote, in TM Book of Laughttr and Forgtlting:

The new Joint Committee on Per onal Te timony will provide a forum in which repre entative of parallel concern uch a the e, who rarely find occasion for direct dialogue, can engage in y tematic, focu ed, and on-going di cu ion. In 0 doing, the committee will generate interpretive and analytic trategie for coming to an under tanding of per onal te timony; it will elaborate methodologie for eliciting, recording, and pre enting uch te timony; and it will explore the way in which the u e of per onal te timonie contribute to the ocial cience and the humanitie at large.

per onal te timony a a elf-reflective, fir t per on narrative which declares as its purported ubject matter the narrator' per onal experience_" arrative" i not re tricted here to a coherent and complete tory a it would be, ay, in an autobiography, a
memoir, or any "completed" account. Rather, narrative i al 0 meant to encompa fragmentary accounts which do not fit into predefined clo ed-an wer ets or tandard literary and conver ational genre . "Peronal experience" i not een a nece arily "hi tori
cal" in nature, and" elf" i under tood a being recreated in the proce of narration. The working group empha ized that there are sub tantial cro -cultural variations in notion of elf, experience, hi -tory, and narrative. In the working group' under-tanding, then, per onal te timony comprehend a
broad range of elf-accounts, including the pontaneou , the formally and informally elicited, the confe ional, the didactic, and the therapeutic, and thu encompa e many literary and quasi-literary narrative including autobiographie, memoir, diarie, and letter.
Personal testimony as process and product: an outline of the issues
In the e many form, per onal te timonie provide narrative autobiographical accounts upon which both ocial cienti ts and humani ts rely. Yet they al 0 po e
numerou interpretive and methodological problem . For example, con ider an autobiographical narrative provided by a former activi t in the tudents' ational Coordinating Committee a he recounted hi life to hi torian engaged in the Columbia Univer ity Oral Hi tory Re earch Project. Thi document prompts many que tion which exemplify the i ue rai ed by per onal te timony, and to which there are in fact no conventionally accepted an wer .
hould thi one interview be compared with another five, another 100, or none? What difference did it make to the tory the activi t told that he wa black, while hi interviewer were white? What difference that he wa interviewed two time , tape recorder in evidence, rather than a ked to write his own tale? And how hould the raw tran cript be treated? hould its grammar be corrected, it redundancie eliminated, or its "re tricted code"-which ignore the informational need of the audience not immediately pre ent-tran lated into an elaborated form?
The e que tion are perhap be t under tood a indicating po ibilitie, rather than a defining binary alternative according to who e logic one an wer i correct and the other mi taken. Studie of urvey

hm that racial differen between interviewer and re pondent can have an impact upon re earch re-ul .5 Yet the implication of thi finding rna differ,
depending on whether the purpo of the interview i to provide information ~ r generalization concerning a large population, to in pire literary writing, or to furni h the ba i for the portrayal of a given encounter. The que tion ocial cienti t and humani t confront a the dra\ on per onal te timonie to inform their work are, therefore, open ended. But a cholar identify the variou alternative according
to which re earch can be tructured, and explore their implication, the analy i of pecific theoretical and methodological i ue related to per onal te -timony can clarif the available option .
Con ider, for in tance, the harply contra ting theorie that govern the u e of per onal te timon in p choanal tic and legal practice. To orne extent, theorie uit etting: p choanal tic theorie revolve around the fragilitie of the elf, and eek path to i (re)con titution, while legal theorie pre ume the elf' abilit to bear witne and delineate trategie to
tap it e identiary potential. Currently available theorie of per onal te timony do not, however, imply reflect a contextually determined divi ion of lab r. Their ba ic orientation al 0 conflict. In a trial ituation, cro -examiner probe witne e for detail,
often etling up confrontational ituation in which more than one er ion of the "facts" i pre ented. Te timon i then tructured a a dialogue in , hich narration i mea ured again t parameter of valid it which require it to be clear, coherent, complete, verifiable, and elf-confident. P ychoanal , on the other hand, tre intraper onal, rather than interper onal, confrontation. Beneath the urface clarity, coherence, elf-confidence, and completene of a te timony,
the eek ambiguitie , ambival nce, fragmentation, and uncertaint . For in lacunae and lap e the find clue to the p chological drama re-enacted through tran ference. Wherea courtroom te timony re-ults-or ought to re ult-in a reliable account of
pa t events, p ychoanalytic te timon re ults-or aim to re ult-in a recon tituted elf.
ocial cienti t and humani t working with per-onal te timony are confronted, moreover, with the
problem of the per ua ivene and ignificance of a particular te timony. Are the ae thetic and literar components which characterize a per onal te timon text related to i reliabilit? What auxiliar ' knowl-

edge i required if one rhetoricall per ua ive te -timony i to permit generalization about a broad clas of phenomena? Mu t le timony be con idered "typical"-of a particular cla of te tifier, for example-to be ignificant? How do the rule of interpretation var when te timonie are collected from a random ample, repre entative in the aggregate, or from a ingle individual? Couldn't one argue that even the mo t ingular te timonie help to illu trate the range of experience which mu t be taken into account for a general explanation of a particular moment? The Italian high middle age cannot be under tood by looking olely at the heretic miller, Menocchio, who e vici itude Carlo Ginzburg ha recounted.6 But an interpretation of the period that did not allow for wandering heretic uch a Menocchio would be eriou Iy flawed.
The committee propo e to addre the e and imilar i ue b examining per onal te timony a a
multidimen ional proce and product in which the provi ion of particular information i tied to the autobiographical con truction of meaning. Of the everal dimen ion along which per onal te timony i ocially and culturally con tructed-and mu t be
read-the following appear to be central: (1) it interlo utory dynamic; (2) its language; and (3) it latent political agenda.
Interlocutory dynamic
The interlocutor dynamic involved in per onal te timon may be regard d in term of a communication model. 7 The te tifier addre e an audience which ha both ocial and ymbolic value for him. Hi me age become op rative through contact and through context. both of which are in part conventionally given and in part created b the ongoing te timony. The me age i formulated in a culturall given code which indicate the way or the way the mage hould b read (a factual de cription or a fiction, a parable. or a allegory). If not initially under tood by the "addre ee" or audience, an accommodation or compromi e may en ue: the te tifier may alter the code, the audience may learn the code. or both. A "contract to communicate" implicitly bind them: for communication to occur, the code mu t, at lea t in part, be hared.

Per onal te timony can al 0 be under tood a a performance. Te timony inevitably produce an effect upon both te tifier and audience. Thi rhetorical dimen ion exi ts whether or not the audience i immediately pre ent (there i rhetoric in a diary a well a in a peech). The te tifier create ver ion of a elf, in a narrative that i con trained by its context. From a confe ional autobiography to a que tionnaire re-pon e, the "narrator" re pond to the condition of
telling-that i , to the culture which provide language, metaphor, and tructure for the te timonyand to the audience with its own demand for comprehen ibility and narrative per ua ivene .
Per onal te timony i a di cour e through which the elf icon tituted. At one level-the referential or the
informative-per onal te timony ay omething about the elf of the ayer. At another level-the pragmatic-per onal te timony erve to con titute the elf dialectically.s The audience perform a ymbolic a well a a ocial role in thi interactive proce . The te tifier "create " an audience a he "create " him elf. 9 Thi creation may provoke the audience' acquie cence or its re i tance. The audience' re-pon e in turn affects the te tifier' ver ion of a elf.
In a parallel fa hion, the audience "create" the te -tifier in order to "create" him elf.
The experience of per onal te timony for te tifier and for audience mu t be een in both its informative and its pragmatic dimen ion if we are to appreciate its full ocial and p ychological import. Indeed, both the informative and the pragmatic dimen ion of the te timony are peculiarly intertwined within the "performance" of per onal te timony, and thi intertwining complicate the interpretation of uch te timony at all stage of the proce .
8 U e i made here of a di tinction between two function of language that ha gained wide acceptance in lingui tic and philo-ophical circle. The referential or informative function of lan
guage refer to denotation, which may be independent of the context of utterance and which i encoded in the tructure of language. The pragmatic function relate an utterance to its context of utterance in both pa ively reflective and actively creative way . Pragmati ,defined by Levin on a "the tudy of tho e relation between language and context that are grammaticalized, or encoded in the tructure of language," includes in its purview peech acts, diarie ,the u e of honorific ,and pre uppo ition.

Language
The language in which te timony i expre ed upplie clue to its po ible reading. But lingui tic
and narrative tructure al 0 provide information that mu t be analyzed on its own term . A narrative' internal, formal component reflect the literary conventions to which it conform and the idio yncratic innovation it introduce . A narrator' adaptation of available device relate to hi or her creativity and ability to me h culturally grounded convention with per onal experimentation into an individual tyle. 0
matter how te timony i directed and formulated, its interpretation play a role at every tage of its production, from the initial deci ion of an individual to initiate or participate in an expre ive performance to its final pre entation. Each interpretation i inextricably connected to previou one. At the arne time, interpretation i influenced by a multiplicity of factor : from the working of individual and collective memory to the cognitive capacity for tory telling, from the p ychological and ituational dynamic to the cultural and ocial determinants of a tatement, from an individual' willingne ,or reluctance, to te tify to the purpo e for which a tatement i given and received.
Latent political agenda
Te tifier and audience are caught up in the dynamic of hifting relation of power. A te tifier can withhold information, evade di cu ion, or lant interpretation. An anthropologi t Ii tening to an informant, like an editor of a et of memoir or a biographer who u e diarie, can do 0 a well. Recall i alway elective; in an interactive context, it i ubject to con ciou manipulation. Here rhetorical and ocial power interdigitate in complex pattern. For a narrator' u e of per ua ion and ability to act kill fully on the tage which the interlocutory ituation con tructs may well invert the hierarchical relation inherent in, a ,the differential tatu commonl attributed to an
anthropologi t and an informant. From the per pective of the cholar, the differential
di tribution of power rai e ethical que tion . ero -cultural re earch "intrude ," and ea il "take advantage" of other . All elf-accounts open the te tifier to the exploitation of hi interpreter, annotator, or reader. But a oral hi torian have been eager to point out, re earch ba ed upon per onal te timony may have po itive ramification a well. Per onal te timony can pre erve memory; it can re tore "voice" to the " ilenced"; it can reconcile individual to moment from the pa t. The ethical que tion per onal te -
29
timony rai are compounded by its exemplary function, for per onal te timon can illuminate the proces e ,hereby a en e of elf i created (generating an empowered mode of being) or undermined (eroding a per on' capacity for purpo i e exi tence).
The committee and its program
The Joint Committee on Per onal Testimony will be concerned with both intellectual and field development. The committee' member hip will be multidi ciplinary, for recour e to per onal te timony i common to a variety of cholar: political ienti t who question a ample of tho e eligible to vote; hi torian who interview civil rights militants; literary critic who annotate noveli ts' memoir; ocial p ychologi ts who recon truct the lap e and rigiditie of collective memorie a German and Jewi h urvivor come to term with the azi pa t; legal cholar who analyze record concerning litigation; ociologi ts who urve ew York City inhabitants; and anthropologi ts who "tran late" the world view of Moroccan villager. Each di cipline offer a pecific vantage point from which to view per onal te timony. And each now eem willing to enter into dialogue with other tradition . The committee member hip, moreo er, will include cholar from other countrie a well a from the nited tate.
In work hop and eminar, the committee will addre pe ific theme, examining, for in tance, the theorie and proce e implicated in the con truction of per onal te timonie ; the contribution of p chological, autobiographical, and life-hi tory per pective to the tudy of per onal te timonie ; and the interaction that relate --or may relate--collective memory and indi idual account of the elf. For the ake of di cu ion, let u illu trate a hyp thetical activit focu ed on thi la t theme. Were the committee to f u upon particular national experience of World War II, it could then examine material from three different chronological period; during the war, immediatel after the war, and everal decade later. For each time period, numerou per onal te timonie are now available: diarie , letter , memoir , legal record ,
30
clinical record ,autobiographie ,and oral hi torie . It might be po ible to compare te timonie provided by the ame per on but at different times: thi would urely illuminate ome of the working of memory
and of mnemonic electivity. Although a wealth of material relating to the war already exi ts, if the committee felt the need to do 0, it might engage in new re earch, u ing oral hi torie or urvey of pecific population to view the tran formation of recall over time. The committee might al 0 promote upplementary re earch which, coupled with the analy i of exi ting oral hi torie or autobiographie , would enable one to compare the way in which events are reported when varying kind of material , narrative tyle , and time frame are adopted. In its variou
activitie , the committee would draw upon the practice ucce fully adopted by the working group of ubmitting the arne material to interpretation
through different len e . Examining per onal te timonie, the committee
might inquire into the way in which ocially in-titutionalized memory become a part of individual
experience. It could look, for example, at the" ocial memory" embodied in popular culture ( ong , film , graphic imagery); in ritualized practice, like commemoration of victorie , martyr , and heroe ; in the organization of certain phy ical pace and their dedication to a mnemonic function ( quare, monument); or in education (textbook hi tory, for in-tance). Doe "ocial memory" figure in per onal te -
timonie ? I it mentioned explicitly, or do it permeate them in more ubtle way : by providing image , metaphor , narrative ,and ets of practice that more or Ie uncon ciou Iy color the narrator' tale? And do pecific per onal te timonie inform collective recall? Addre ing que tion uch a the e, the committee will focu on the proce e whereb people both recount their experience and con truct meaning in their own live a they engage in autobiographical narration. Taking per onal te timony a an area within which diver e di ciplinary, epi temological, and methodological concern can productivel be drawn together, the committee will addre a que tion of fundamental importance: What do we learn when people peak or write about them elve ?

Explanations of Fertility Decline in Latin America
I CE 1979, the Joint Committee on Latin American tudie -with upport from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation-ha ought to upport new reasearch initiative in demography. The committee ha pon-ored a project on the family and hou ehold a uni
of demographic analy i , which explored new theoretical and methodological work on demographic change, and a conference on a pects of kin hip in Latin America, which po ed que tion about the cultural norm and economic factor which influence reproductive choice . In 1985, the committee pon-ored a ne~ project on fertility decline in Latin
America, which led to the international eminar reported on in thi article.
Major decline in the crude birth rate and other demographic indicator of fertility have taken place ince the 1970 throughout Latin America. Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Co ta Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Peru provide orne of the better documented example. While there have been important difference between countrie in the peed of the fertility decline and the level of current fertilit , in virtually all countrie the decade of the 1970 proved to be one of remarkably rapid change. What i more, thi change eem to have occurred in countrie that vary greatly with re pect to level of development, political y tern, ethnic compo ition, and population policy.
What brought about the e dramatic change in reproducti e behavior? Explanation of Latin American fertility de line put forth from within the region have been, for the mo t part, focu ed on particular country experience . The e efforts repre ent a ignificant departure from previou thinking in the region about the determinants of reproductive behavior and their cope extend beyond the re tricted range of que tion that can be an wered on the ba i of cen u or urvey data. It wa to focu attention on uch analy e that the Council' Joint Committee on

Brazil
Fertility decline in Brazil was recognized by demographer ome time after the fact. It wa only with the re ults of a erie of hou ehold urvey conducted in the late 1970 and the 1980 cen u that demographer could be ure that a large decline had taken place tarting in the mid-1960 . International reports uch a the World Bank' monograph on PopuLation

ing ial curity coverage and other righ , they were replaced by a ver different y tern of contracting farm labor. Com pen alion wa entirely monetar. 0 longer did the laborer and hi family Ii e on the farm and have the opportunit to grow their own food. And much of the contracting wa done on a temporary ba i through intermediarie . Paiva argued that not onl did thi hift increa e the co ts of providing for a large famil and decrea e the
32
economic benefits that parents could expect to derive from their children, but it al 0 introduced a large amount of uncertainty into the economic of the hou ehold. Coupled with the fact that food and hou ing now had to b paid for in ca h wa the pro -pect that the price of both would fluctuate harply. Parents were thru t into a ituation in which the co ts of rai ing children were both variable and competitive with other expenditure .
While Paiva' the i focu ed on the objective change in markets and their bearing on the economic calculu of hou ehold , the paper by ViI mar Faria and Pedro Luiz Barro wa concerned with the ocial dimen ion of the tran formation taking place
in Brazil, and the influence of the e a pects on reproductive behavior. They argued that Brazil, even though it till pre ented elevated indice of poverty, wa by 19 0 very much a rna ociety thoroughly penetrated by con umeri m. fter noting the change between 1950 and 1980 in female labor force participation rate and in the con umption of durable good by Brazilian hou ehold ,the proceeded to analyze both the reach and influence of the rna media. The economic b om of the 1960 and 1970 wa fueled by a tran formation in th pattern of con umer expenditure, a tran formation that wa inten ively promoted by the media. In addition to timulating demand for item uch a refrigerator and televi-ion , the media tran mitt d new notion concerning
medicine, exuality, women' role, and famil ize. In the third paper on Brazil, Elza Berqu6 took up
p pulation polic and the pread of contraceptive ervice. he reviewed both the changing tance of the
military government (1964-1985) on demographic i ue -which became progre ively Ie pronatali t in its pronouncements but never committed i elf to providing family planning er ice -and the evolving efforts to promote and deliver famil planning ervice b externall -funded private a ociation. After looking at trend in contraceptive u e in the tate of
ao Paulo up until 19 0, h pre ented re ult from a tud conducted in four municipalitie of the tate.
The proportion of married women currently practi ing contraception varied from 53 per cent to 80 per ent in the four municipalitie , with oral contracep
ti e and terilization accounting for about 90 per cent of all u e. The unu ual predominance of the e two method i attributed to the ready a ailabilityof birth control pill at an pharmacy and to the action of the private famil planning a ociation in promoting terilization. More women reported them-elve a having undergone t rilization for health
related rea on rather than in order to avoid having

more children, and 74 per cent aid the operation had been recommended b a doctor.
While the paper did not offer much ba i for determining the relative importance of the different factor affecting reproductive behavior-indeed in the di cu ion it wa ugge ted that perhap the weighting might vary con iderably acro place and ocial group -they did identify the factor that could
explain the decline in fertility. Proletarianization and the incorporation of women in the labor force affected the economics of childbearing; the related but neverthele remarkable development of the rna media during the e year exerted an important ideological influence; and, finally, in pite of the ab-ence of a national family planning program, at lea t orne contraceptive method were readily available
and medical per onnel were there to pre cribe them.
Cuba
Of the three countrie , Cuba now ha much the lowe t level of fertility. Women in thi ociety are now having, on the average, fewer than two children, and the level of fertility approximate that found in the United tate and in many European countrie . Two papers on Cuba were pre ented. ergio Diaz-Briquets updated an influential article he had publi hed everal year ago reflecting the view of Cuban who had immigrated to the United tate. The paper by Lui a Alvarez and Alfon 0 Farno , on the other hand, repre ented the point of view of two leading Cuban demographer , and incorporated the mo t recent data on the very low level of Cuban fertilit . There wa agreement between the two paper concerning the fact of the ca e. Cuban fertility had declined to a moderately low level before the revolution, had ri en harply in the immediate aftermath, and then after
falling lowly in the late 1960 , plummeted to below replacement level in the 1970 and early 1980. The ewing aro e from a marriage boom following the revolution and from harp fluctuation in the u e of contraception and the prevalence of abortion. The change to ociali t relation of production and the rapid pread of education were thought to have dra -tically reduced the economic contribution that could be expected from children, while the tate pen ion y tern dimini hed the importance of the family a a ource of upport in old age. At the arne time, greatly
increa ed employment opportunitie for women conflicted with their role a both hou ewive and mother . In thi regard, the official ideology concerning both family life and the equality of opportunity between the exe wa al 0 con idered to be important.
J E 1986
Where the two paper differed wa in regard to the tate of mind of Cuban couple. Diaz-Brique em
pha ized the influence on fertility of what he perceived as fru trated a pi ration for con umer good and hou ing. The a pi ration were the product of the long tanding materiali t influence of being 0 clo e to the United tate and of the promi e made in the early tage of the revolution coupled with the initial ucce at income redi tribution. The fru tration reulted from the price of con umer good in relation
to wage and from the general carcit of hou ing. Alvarez and Farno , in contra t, empha ized the
ucce e of the revolution in improving the population' acce to medical care and education and in improving the living condition and in changing the life tyle of the rural population. In their view, there wa little incentive for couple to want large familie , but it wa not becau e they were di enchanted with the re ults of the revolution.
An intere ting ob ervation made b u an Eck tein wa that during the 1970 the Cuban government had implemented a number of mea ure to induce women to enter the labor force. The com pari on of data from the 1981 and 1970 cen u e demon trating that participation rate had more than doubled during the decade (from about 25 per cent to more than 50 per cent in the central age group) howed ju t how ucce ful the policie had been. Eck tein went on to peculate that there would be back peddling on the e
policie becau e of their co t , increa ing unemployment, and the likelihood that very low level of fertility would eventually lead to a large number of aged dependents.
Mexico
Mexico wa the only one of the countrie con idered at the eminar to have had an explicit government policy to promote family planning and reduce the rate of population growth. The impact of thi policy wa con idered in everal different contex . The fir t and mo t general of the three paper on Mexico dealt with the relation hip between reproductive behavior and the cri i of the Mexican model of development from the late 1960 onward. Raul Benitez Zenteno and Carlo Welti argued that in pite of continuing economic growth up until 19 1,
throughout mo t of the 1970 there had been little improvement (and perhap orne deterioration) in the living tandard of the bulk of the population. It wa a period of ri ing expectation. Promi e of " hared development" and, later, of benefits from the di covery of petroleum had been extended, but mo t
33
hou ehold achieved higher level of con umption only b way of having more member engage in wage labor. Poor household benefited the least in that they pro ed unable to retain their off pring. The mo t dramatic queeze on hou ehold budge occurred in the 1982-1984 period, when real wage actually declined by 30 per cent. While Benitez and Welti credited the impact on hou ehold of difficult economic condition with changing coupl 'attitude about the number of children they could afford, they attributed the go ernment' effort to legitimate and di tribute contraception with making it p ible for Mexican couple in all ocial group actually to have fewer children.
Octavio Mojarro, Leopoldo uiiez, Jo eph Potter, and Daniel Hernandez focu ed pecifically on rural Mexico and the fertility change taking place there ince 1969. Making u e of a erie of four fertility urvey , they documented the decline in the level of
marital fertility from the very high level found at the tart of the period, as well a the increa e in con
traceptive practice directly re pon ible for the change. They u ed the urvey to how fairly dramatic hifts in the compo ition of the population according to ocial group (the proportion ofhou ehold who e head wa engaged in nonagricultural wage labor increa ed dramatically) and educational attainment, and a large increa e in the u e of the modern medical y tem (public and private). everal type of change were hypothe ized to have led to fertility decline. The fir t change wa the hrinking proportion of hou ehold who e head i engaged in ub i -tence agriculture-the economic value of children in dome tic production would be Ie if the family were dependent on wage labor or on mechanized farming. More important, in their view, may have been the increa ed diffu ion of a piration for higher level of con umption and education. Both the chool and the medical in titution were credited with changing the way people thought about family ize, while the latter played a direct role in tran mitting knowledge about contraceptive method , not only making them acce -ible but actively combating the rumor and taboo urrounding their u e.
The la t paper to be di cus ed at the eminar wa a preliminary report on an anthropological study of the influence of education on reproductive behavior in Mexico. It wa undertaken by Robert and ara LeVine, Amy Richman, and Clara underland Correa in two low-income neighborhood of Cuernavaca, Morelo. hi re earch had been ba ed on the premi e that education led women to have a heightened en e of control over their live and an increa ed
34
awarene of their option . Educated women would not only have high a piration for their children; the would al 0 de elop relation with them uch that the children would make greater demand for care and attention. In their re earch on girl in econdary chool, to their urpri e the inve tigator did not find
that the chool tended to make girl more a ertive; they did find that younger, more educated women tended to communicate more readily with their hu -band and were more likel to re i t demand for additional children. From the interview ,it eemed that women in the e communitie were extremely con ciou of the co ts of rai ing children and recognized that, much to their regret, they could not afford to have a family a large a the one in which they them elve had been rai ed.
Explanations of fertility decline
Throughout the eminar, but e pecially in the e-ion held after the initial pre entation and di cu ion
of the paper , there were attempts to ynthe ize the re ults and to draw com pari on with earlier Latin American thinking about the determinants of fertility and with the explanation of fertility decline that have been offered for other parts of the world. It eemed clear that even though there were important difference among the interpretation , fertility decline eemed to be re pon ive to the following broad type
of determining factor in all three countrie : A change in the economic oj chiLdren. Thi wa oc
ca ioned by the breakdown of in titutional arrangements and the di appearance of agricultural context in which children con tituted an important economic re ource to their parents. Included would be the tran formation of coffee farm and ugar plantation in Brazil, the dimini hing importance of ub i tence farming on mall plo in Mexico, and the
elimination of poverty and the provi ion of ocial ervice in rural Cuba.
A transfonnation in women' roLt . The re ult of trong ideological influence pread through the ma media in Brazil and Mexico and by the tate organ in Cuba ha been a major change in ideal and a piration encompa ing the epa ration of exuality and reproduction, and new idea concerning elf-fulfillment.
hi change, together with an increa e in the opportunity to enter the paid labor force, placed multiple and conflicting demand on women, but increa ed their willingne to take the initiative in controlling their reproduction. The notion that it wa women more than men who led the change in reproductive ideal i pre ent in the accounts of all three ca e .

And the population wa increa ingly expo ed to doctor becau e of the increa ing coverage of ocial ecurity program in Brazil and Mexico. In Mexico, rural health clinic were e tabli hed by public agencie . In Cuba, a national health y tern wa e tabli hed. Contributing to the pread of a "rational medical" attitude toward childbearing wa the increa e in the number of deliverie by Cae arean ection in Brazil, and, perhap , the increa ed u e of induced abortion and an empha i on preventing high ri k pregnancie 10
Cuba. en or fifteen year ago, mo t Latin American 0-
cial cienti ts were not predicting fertilit decline of the magnitude of tho e witne ed ince 1970. Faced with the neo-Malthu ian explanation of underdevelopment emanating from the United tate, and the propo al that birth control wa the olution for the e onomic and ocial problem of the region, man cholar argued that imply introducing technology
would have little impact unle there were important change in the ocial and economic context in which reproduction took place. In retro pect, it eem that the role of technolog wa greater than expected, and that idea about reproduction changed in re pon e to a much wider ariety of timuli, and at a fa ter pace than had been anticipated.
Ha Latin American thinking about fertility decline now converged with what might be called the international main tream? On the one hand, it could be argued that there i nothing exceptional about the four type of determinants ju t di tilled from the paper presented at the eminar-the can be quickl recogniz d a the gri t of mo t po t hoc theorizing

In com pari on with explanation recentl offered for comparable fertilit decline in A ian countrie uch a Thailand, Korea, or ingapore, perhap the di tingui hing feature of the analy e pre ented at the eminar i the effort to locate the different factor within the logic of the prevailing tyle of development.
