Item Fecundidad y empleo femenino en Costa Rica(Seminario Nacional de Demografía (9 :1987 :San José, Costa Rica), 1987) Sosa Jara, Doris; Rodríguez, Ana VictoriaHistóricamente, la mujer se ha considerado vinculada principalmente a su hogar, lugar alrededor del cual extendía su radio de acción, cumpliendo tareas en la reproducción de la fuerza de trabajo. También cumplía funciones económicas en el abastecimiento de alimentos (recolección y procesamiento), confección de vestidos e instrumentos artesanales de utilización doméstica. En algunas sociedades todaví a la mujer asume este tipo de tareas, de limitándos e muy clara mente las funciones masculinas y femeninas.Item Contraceptive use and fertility in Costa Rica, 1986(International Family Planning Perspectives, Vol. 14, No. 3, (September 1988), 1988) Oberle, Mark W.; Sosa Jara, Doris; Madrigal Pana, Johnny; Becker, Stan; Rosero Bixby, LuisContraceptive prevalence in Costa Rica is higher than almost anywhere else in Latin America, with 70 percent of currently married women using a contraceptive method. Differentials in contraceptive use by educational level and between urban and rural areas are actually quite small compared with those in other Latin American countries. While levels of contraceptive use among married women 20-44 years of age remained relatively stable between 1976 and 1986, total fertility rates increased slightly over that period, perhaps because of changing fertility intentions or changing patterns of contraceptive use. For example, Costa Rican women have increased their reliance on barrier methods and decreased use of the pill. The majority of women who were not practicing contraception were either pregnant or breastfeeding an infant; only about one in five nonusers could be considered candidates for contraceptive use. One-fifth of all 15-19-year-old women and two-fifths of all 20-24-year-olds had had premarital intercourse. Most young adults who had had premarital intercourse did not practice contraception at first intercourse.
