Se proponen algunas reflexiones sobre posibles relaciones entre las normas culturales sobre la construcción del género y los valores sobre la sexualidad que pueden estar afectando el comportamiento sexual y anticonceptivo de algunas mujeres mexicanas. La posibilidad de explorar estas relaciones en forma sistemática en investigaciones sobre el tema puede contribuir al conocimiento de los condicionantes socioculturales de la anticoncepción y la fecundidad temprana en México.El Colegio de México A.C.1997-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://estudiosdemograficosyurbanos.colmex.mx/index.php/edu/article/view/99110.24201/edu.v12i1.991Estudios Demográficos y Urbanos; Vol. 12 No. 1 (1997): 34-35, January-August; 155-176Estudios Demográficos y Urbanos; Vol. 12 Núm. 1 (1997): 34-35, enero-agosto; 155-1762448-65150186-7210reponame:Estudios Demográficos y Urbanosinstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://estudiosdemograficosyurbanos.colmex.mx/index.php/edu/article/view/991/984Derechos de autor 1997 Estudios Demográficos y Urbanoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.estudiosdemograficosyurbanos.colmex.mx:article/9912024-08-16T22:12:03Z
