Abstract In the process of the demographic transition in Cuba, the fertility variable has shown characteristics that have distinguished it, observing a gradual process of decline, which begins at the beginning of the 20th century, until arriving in 1978, to be located below the level generation replacement. The process of decline has accelerated after the social changes that occurred in the early sixties, accompanied by a growing homogenization of reproductive behavior in different social groups and in different territories. However, within this behavior, some widely studied inequities can be found in the national and international context, highlighting high levels of adolescent fertility, high use of abortion, among others, for which the country has developed educational and health strategies or programs.
