Resumen
This dissertation sought to analyze rural fertility differentials by levels of rural development in
the microregions of the Northeast region in the year of 2010. Specifically, to quantify the
concept of rural development, this study was based on the indices of European origin, more
precisely the Development Index OECD, already replicated in Brazil to analyze the presence
of different levels of rural development. In order to quantify these concepts and the
development of a Rural Development Index (RDI), through the selection of population,
demographic, economic and social welfare variables, it is possible to analyze the reproductive
behavior, expressed by the rates of fertility at different levels of rural development. The
database used in the study was the 2010 Demographic Census, and the Demographic Census
2000 was used to compose the calculation of an IDR variable. The results suggest that the
Northeastern region has an IDR = 0.39, a result that is far from the ideal, which would be close
to 1. This classifies the region's rural territories, on average, with low rural development.
However, by disaggregating the IDR by microregions, it was estimated that almost 48% of the
rural population reside in territories classified as medium-level rural development with rural
TFR equal to 2.85 children per woman. Among the microregions considered to be of low rural
development, only 6.4% had TFR equal to or less than 2.1 children per woman, the highest
proportion of microregions in these conditions being classified as having high rural
development. The study found that 34% of the microregions studied resulted in a rural TFR of
2.11 to 2.60 children per woman, the highest proportion found, with a significant number of
microregions with rural TFR above 3.1 children per woman (32 %).
