NUNEZ-MEDINA, Gerardo  y  JIMENEZ-ACEVEDO, Hilda María. Spatial Analysis of Adolescent Fertility in Chiapas Municipalities. LiminaR [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.73-87. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v16i1.565.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the behavior of the spatial distribution of adolescent fertility and some of its most important determinants in 2015 in Chiapas. The importance of this research lies in three fundamental factors: (1) Chiapas has the highest percentage of adolescents and teenagers in Mexico; (2) It has the third highest number of adolescent pregnancies; (3) CONAPO has classified 85 of its 118 municipalities as having high or very high marginalization. Thus, the state has important economic, social, and spatial-segregation problems. Further, this paper provides relevant information on how the fertility of this age group has evolved, a subject that has been scarcely studied.
