Inequalities along the reproductive trajectory in Spain: effects of social vulnerabilities on fertility, pregnancy, perinatal and postnatal outcomes
Desigualdades a lo largo de la trayectoria reproductiva en España: efectos de la vulnerabilidad social en la fecundidad, el embarazo y los resultados perinatales y postnatales
Financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (PID2023-151383OA-100)
The research project INTRAREPRO seeks to deepen understanding on the health-related dimension of reproductive processes in Spain. It assesses whether socioeconomic vulnerability and sociodemographic characteristics consistently affect fertility and health throughout individuals' reproductive trajectories. These relations are explored across stages of the reproductive process, covering the (un)fulfilment of childbearing intentions; different contraceptive choices; infertility-related risks; maternal gestational, peripartum and postpartum health; perinatal outcomes; and early child development.
The project is a research collaboration between UNED, the Spanish National Research Council, Indiana University, Università di Firenze, University of Lausanne, and Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
