Resumen:
Adolescent fertility displays a trend that does not follow?and even runs
contrary to?the general temporal fertility pattern. Multiple factors
determine this trend, including socioeconomic conditions and cultural
patterns at both immigrants? place of origin of and their destination.
This article analyzes adolescent fertility in Spain with regard to
country of maternal origin using records of deliveries (1980?2008) and
information from countries with high immigration rates to Spain. After
1980, deliveries to adolescents diminished; after 1996, only
Spanish-born adolescents continued this downward trend, but not
immigrants. The factors responsible for these differences are diverse
and related to the characteristics of the immigrants themselves, in
addition to the situation of immigrants in the Spanish context.
