Abstract
In this paper we analyze the reformulation of the central problems of the Argentinian demography in the 1960 in Argentina. This was a significant shift from an approach preoccupied with the inequity that would produce labor shortages, race decline and depopulation of the country, to a new one, which would put at the center of the fertility studies scene, the complexity that surrounds the processes of constitution of the offspring according to the conjugal and reproductive history of women, their social position, knowledge and use of contraceptives methods, and their educational and labor achievements. We will also show that this approach was limited and interrupted by the cycles of political instability typical of Argentina in the second half of the twentieth century.
