“…Over the course of the 20 th century the educational composition of the Brazilian population also changed: women were significantly affected by the country's educational expansion (Fígoli 2006). At first, females benefited from a gender-stratified educational system in which they received training to work in specific labor sectors such as health, hospitality, and education (Besse 1999).…”

BACKGROUNDBrazil's fertility transition was the result of multiple socioeconomic transformations that started during the second quarter of the 20th century. Education expansion played an important role in this process by promoting changes in social norms and in assortative mating profiles. OBJECTIVEThe goal is to estimate cohort fertility rates (CFR) of women in union by educational pairing (different combinations of men's and women's educational levels) and whether changes observed in assortative mating profiles were associated to the Brazilian cohort fertility transition. METHODSFirst, we estimate CFR by educational pairings for women cohorts born between 1925 and 1969. Second, we decompose the difference in CFR between younger and older cohorts into two components, the effects of changes in the composition of educational pairings (structural changes) and the rate effects (other factors). RESULTSThe CFR of couples in Brazil declined from levels higher than 6 children per women for cohorts born in 1925-1929, to less than 3 children for women born in 1965-1969. Changes in the composition of educational pairing corresponded to approximately onethird of these reductions in cohort fertility.

“…Over the past several decades, and particularly between 1970 and 2000, Brazil moved from a largely homogenous country of low education, to a country with a wide range of educational attainment (Esteve and McCaa 2007; Fígoli 2006; IBGE 2004). For example, in 1950 half of the population age 15 and above were illiterate, but by the end of the century that number had declined to 13.6%, and only 4.2% of children ages 10–14 were illiterate.…”

“…Finally, it is important to note that the changes in education occurred across all levels of education and were experienced equally by men and women (Fígoli 2006; Esteve and McCaa 2007). Typically, having similar educational distributions for men and women implies that hypergamy should decline (Goldstein and Kenney 2001; Sweeney and Cancian 2004).…”

Using data from the 1991 and 2000 Censuses, and the 2001 and 2008 PNAD of Brazil, this paper examines change in educational, racial and religious intermarriage. Different perspectives on social change make different predictions regarding shifts in the magnitude of marital homogamy within these three social characteristics. Racial homogamy is less pronounced in Brazil than in a variety of other contexts, educational homogamy is comparable to that reported in the United States, and religious homogamy is much more pronounced than either educational or racial homogamy. The most common pattern of social change is increased fluidity in mate selection. Homogamy parameters are becoming smaller for race, education and religion, but the pattern of change is not uniform. Boundaries appear to be increasing at the two tails of the education distribution and for some religious categories.

“…Some of the advantages of this approach are its simplicity and the robustness of the forecasts when age-specific log-mortality rates decline linearly over time. The method was initially used to forecast mortality in the USA, but since then it has been applied to many other countries, including Australia (Booth et al, 2002), Austria (Carter and Prskawetz, 2001), Belgium (Brounhs et al, 2002), Brazil (Fígoli, 1998), England and Wales (Renshaw and Haber-man, 2003a, b), Japan (Wilmoth, 1996), Spain (Guillen and Vidiella-i-Anguera, 2005;Debón et al, 2008), Sweden (Lundstrom and Qvist, 2004), the Nordic countries (Koissi et al, 2006), and the 'G7' countries (Tuljapurkar et al, 2000).…”

In recent decades, life expectancy in developed countries has risen to historically unprecedented levels driven by unforeseen declines in rates of mortality. The prospects of further reductions are of fundamental importance in various areas. In this context, we consider the problem of forecasting future mortality and life expectancy in the event of a structural change. We show how recent advances in statistical testing for structural changes can be used to arrive at properly specified models for the general level of mortality in the context of the Lee-Carter model. Specifically, the results of tests for a change in the trend of the index of mortality and for the presence of a unit root are used to identify appropriate forecasting models.The methodology proposed is applied to post-1950 mortality data for a set of developed countries to test the usual assumption that is made in the literature of a sustained decline in mortality at roughly constant rates in this period. Structural changes in the rate of decline in overall mortality are found for almost every country, especially in male populations. We also illustrate how accounting for such a change can lead to a major effect in mortality and life expectancy forecasts over the next decades.
