RESUMO
a no-maternidad en México se perfila como un complejo fenómeno distinto al de las sociedades industrializadas y altamente urbanizadas en las que ha sido fundamentalmente estudiada. Las desiguales condiciones en la que esta se lleva a cabo aluden a una diversidad de experiencias que requieren ser documentadas. Este estudio busca contribuir al conocimiento de la no-maternidad en México, explorando, a partir de fuentes secundarias y análisis descriptivos, sus aspectos sociales y económicos más relevantes. Los resultados ratifican que la no-maternidad ocurre bajo diferentes contextos socioeconómicos, que llegan a ser incluso antagónicos. La no unión conyugal se presenta como un aspecto importante de la nomaternidad que, al no haberse asociado con índices migratorios, muestra que en México las mujeres que no son madres tampoco son esposas, sugiriendo con ello, una doble transgresión al modelo hegemónico del ser mujer, al tiempo que revela una realidad hasta ahora poco visible de las mujeres no madres y no esposas: la de las mujeres con limitaciones físicas.
he non-maternity in Mexico is emerging as a complex phenomenon different from the highly urbanized and industrialized societies in which primarily has been studied. The unequal conditions in which it takes place refer to a variety of experiences that need to be documented. This study seeks to contribute to the knowledge of non-maternity in Mexico, exploring, from secondary sources and descriptive analysis, its most important social and economic aspects. The results confirm that non-maternity occurs under different socioeconomic contexts, that become even antagonistic. Non-marital union was presented as an important aspect of non-maternity that, not having been associated with migration rates, shows that in Mexico women who are not mothers neither are wives, thereby suggesting a double transgression of the hegemonic model of womanhood, while it is revealing a reality hitherto little visible of women who are neither mothers nor wives: the women with physical limitations to work.
RESUMO
The population that has migrated from rural zones to urban areas is subject to changes in their dietary patterns and is considered a vulnerable population group in terms of food security. This article describes the diet of the immigrant indigenous population in the city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, analyzing the factors that contribute to adequate calorie consumption in 143 families. This is a cross-sectional study based on a structured interview in which information was obtained related to socio-economic variables, the variety and types of foods in the home, and adequate calorie consumption per capita based on requirements according to age and sex. Using nonparametric statistical tests, the relationship between the population's income level and the number of calories available was determined. Results show a significant association between the income level of the population and the number of calories available in homes; however, there is not a significant association between the amount of time a family has lived in the city and the type and variety of foods available to and consumed by these families. Results show that 91.3% of these families ingest the suggested calorie consumption; the population with the lowest income levels represents a lower percentage of this indicator, and also showed significant deficiencies in proteins and nutrients such as calcium and vitamin A. The implications of rural-urban migration by indigenous populations in relation to diet quality are discussed.
