The province of Quebec, historically known for its unusually high reproductive
levels, has in the past few decades experienced a spectacular fertility decline.
This more or less abrupt decline in fertility has corresponded with the socioeconomic transformation of this French-speaking province into a modern
society. This paper presents a path analysis of period structural factors on
fertility change in Quebec from 1941 to 1991. The results are interpreted in the
context of Quebec’s family policies and assess whether government can or
should attempt to increase fertility levels in Quebec.
La escasez y el aumento de precios de productos alimenticios, productos de las secuelas destructivas de los huracanes Gustav, Ike y Paloma en el otoño de 2008 ejemplificaron una vez más las interrupciones frecuentes en el sistema alimenticio con que los cubanos, y especialmente las mujeres cubanas, han tenido que luchar desde el comienzo del Período Especial en la década de los 90. Empleando un enfoque de género para analizar la adquisición y preparación de alimentos, se examina las consecuencias de las periódicas escaseces de alimentos sobre el uso de tiempo y las estrategias informales de resistencia que las mujeres cubanas han adoptado para alimentarse a si mismas y a sus familias.
