Chile: tablas abreviadas de mortalidad masculinas y femeninas de la VIII Region del Biobio y Region Metropolitana de Santiago, 1980

Las tablas de mortalidad construidas para la Octava Region y la Region Metropolitana de Chile, a partir de los ultimos dos censos de poblacion, revelan que los niveles de mortalidad por edad de la poblacion femenina son menores que los de la poblacion masculina. Entre 1969-1970 y 1980 la esperanza de vida del sexo femenino es siempre superior a la del masculino, asi como tambien que la diferencia en la esperanza de vida entre los sexos disminuye a nivel regional, observandose lo contrario a nivel nacional. En efecto, en la Octava Region la diferencia de esperanza de vida entre hombres y mujeres de 6,85 anos desciende a 6,80, en tanto que en la region metropolitana sube de 6,18 a 6,27 (p18). En este sentido la fuerte baja de la mortalidad infantil entre 1971-1980 debe haber pesado en forma importante.

Policies and care provision in Latin America: A view of regional experiences

This study identifies the key challenges facing the region in the domain of care provision. To that end it describes, analyses and discusses the concept of care, the rights approach and the public policies implemented in Latin America and the Caribbean on the social organization of care. The document describes care policies in the region generally, and it specifically analyses experiences of the social organization of care provision in four countries. In Chile, it studies the Chile Crece Contigo national child-care programme; in Costa Rica it reviews the National Care Network; in Ecuador, it analyses the recognition of unpaid reproductive work in the 2008 Constitution and the National Plan for Good Living; and in Uruguay it considers the National Care System.
