“…These studies (theoretical and empirical), which are almost exclusively conducted in the United States, have frequently shown that religion may promote positive outcomes, very often related to healthier behaviors and lifestyles among religiously engaged people (ELLISON; LEVIN, 1998;REGNERUS, 2003). Some other researches, however, also bring evidence of negative impacts (KRAUSE; it is essential that Brazilian demographers begin to analyze more deeply the association between religion and demographic components and aspects (as suggested by MIRANDA-RIBEIRO et al, 2009;VERONA et al, 2010).

This study explored the focus on youth in Catholic and Evangelical Pentecostal discussions about and responses to HIV and AIDS in Brazil. Key informant, oral history, and in-depth interviews revealed a disconnect between young people’s views of themselves as leaders in their religious institutions’ responses to HIV and other social problems and adult religious leaders’ views of youth as vulnerable and in need of being saved. Religious leaders presented young people as institutional commodities, emphasizing their symbolic value as signs of the health and future of their churches. We explore the unofficial exchange between religious institutions and young people, who benefited from the leadership opportunities and communities provided by their churches and youth groups.We discuss the political economy of youth in religious institutions’ responses to HIV and AIDS within the context of Brazil’s high levels of religious mobility as well as the broader, global commodification of spirituality and religion.

We analyze cohort fertility by religion and education in Latin America from periods previous to the general decline in period fertility in 1950s. We reconstruct cohort fertility and parity progression ratios of women born in 1930–1970 in a number of countries in the region, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay and Peru. Our main aim is to understand the past developments of cohort fertility in the course of fertility transition in Latin America and to assess the role of religious affiliation, as well as to understand these developments controlling for a number of socioeconomic characteristics. We also seek to grasp if religion becomes more or less important with rising school levels and human capital over time.
