FELITTI, Karina. Family Planning in Argentina during the Decades 1960 and 1970: an unusual case in Latin America?. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2012, vol.27, n.1, pp.153-188. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v27i1.1408.

This article analyzes the way international recommendations to reduce birth rates in certain Latin American countries, particularly Argentina, in the 1960s and 1970s were received and resignified. After a description of the first family planning programs developed in Chile, Peru, Mexico, Brazil and Bolivia, the author focuses on the case of Argentina to explore the causes and consequences of its public birth control policies in a context in which most of the region adopted opposite measures.

Palabras llave : policy; population; birth rate; rights; Latin America; Argentina.
