Resumen
Discussions about the so-called middle class have had wide attention in Brazil
in recent years, recognizing their economic and population importance, it is
observed how the new patterns of consumption adopted by this class, labor and
per capita income, influence the lower number of children by Woman by several
factors. The present study analyzes the relation of the number of children in the
households according to their social classes and their respective patterns of
consumption. For the methodological source of the discussion about the
relations of social classes, the research was based on Goldthorpe's (1987)
scheme of operation, in order to observe the relational effect of the number of
children on their expenditures. Family Budgets (POF) of the Brazilian Institute of
Geography and Statistics - IBGE, referring to the 2008-2009 version. Three
elements were considered central and fundamental to the database for the
observation (Income, Households and Expenses), and information about social
classes, number of children per household was extracted, and expenses with
vehicles per household as an element of consumption. The decline in the
number of children is basically explained by the great changes in the
socioeconomic structure of the population. Factors such as urbanization,
economic dynamism, greater access to credit and forms of consumption, and
income transfer programs for the poorest population are clear for behavioral
interference on child rearing by household. The influence of the consumption
and the increase of the professional qualifications and of the incomes, made
that there was a growth in the composition of the average social classes of the
form that the reproductive behavior of the families suffered with such influences.
