| description | In a marriage market, as in any other kind of market, one of the important elements that determines the number of transactions (unions) that take place within that market, is the degree of balance that exists between the number of people supplying and the number of people demanding a particular product, which in this particular, complex case is a specific sociocultural product: the very individuals supplying and demanding the product, that is to say, the population of both sexes of marriageable age (single, between the ages of 12 and 50) exposed to the risk of marriage.The objetive of this article is to present the results obtained when estimating how balanced, in numerical terms, the Mexican population of marriageable age was in 1980, in relation to its structure by age and sex, as well as the timing of its nuptiality. This estimate was made for both the state and national levels, using as a source of information the 1980 Census, correted for understatements and incorrect statements regarding age. In order to effect the estimate, two indicators were constructed: the radio of femininity by age group. Both of these are similar to the well- known index of masculinity, with the difference that, on the one hand, they relate men and women of marriageable age among whom there are certain age differences, according to the trends observed prior to 1980 in the Mexican population at the time of first marriage. On the other hand, they refer to the age or age group of the women, and not to that of the men.On the basis of the findings, we can observe that it is possible to group 28 of Mexico's 32 states into 6 differents patterns with regard to the behavior of their ratio of femininity by individual age. Of these patterns, only one evidences a greater number of men than women among the simgle population over the age of 23, comprising the state of Hidalgo, Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, and Sonora. In the other five patterns, in the four states classified as "atypical," as well as at the national level, one can also note a marked imbalance, the difference being that said imbalance occurs in the form of deficits of men (or surpluses of women). These findings are corroborated by the ratios of femininity by age group. In general, it can be stated that the northern central region of the country is the one most affected by this phenomenon, since the states with greater imbalances in their respective marriage markets were Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Jalisco, and Aguascalientes. |

El caso de México en 1980 Pavón, Norma Patricia nupcialidad In a marriage market, as in any other kind of market, one of the important elements that determines the number of transactions (unions) that take place within that market, is the degree of balance that exists between the number of people supplying and the number of people demanding a particular product, which in this particular, complex case is a specific sociocultural product: the very individuals supplying and demanding the product, that is to say, the population of both sexes of marriageable age (single, between the ages of 12 and 50) exposed to the risk of marriage.The objetive of this article is to present the results obtained when estimating how balanced, in numerical terms, the Mexican population of marriageable age was in 1980, in relation to its structure by age and sex, as well as the timing of its nuptiality.

In general, it can be stated that the northern central region of the country is the one most affected by this phenomenon, since the states with greater imbalances in their respective marriage markets were Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Jalisco, and Aguascalientes. En un mercado matrimonial, como en cualquier tipo de mercado, uno de los elementos importantes que determinan el número de transacciones (uniones) que se llevan a cabo al interior del mismo, es el grado de equilibrio existente entre el número de oferentes y demandantes de un producto determinado, que en este caso particular y complejo es un producto sociocultural específico: los mismas oferentes y demandantes, es decir, la población de ambos sexos en edad casaderas (solteras, entre los 12 y los 50 años) expuestas al riesgo de unirse.El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los resultados obtenidos al estimar qué tan balanceada, numéricamente, se encontraba la población casadera mexicana de 1980, en función de su estructura por edad y sexo, así como del calendario de su nupcialidad. Esta estimación se realizó tanto a nivel nacional como estatal, utilizando como fuente de información al Censo de 1980, corregido por subenumeración y mala declaración de la edad. Para realizarla se construyeron dos indicadores: la relación de femineidad por edad individual y la relación de femineidad por grupo de edad. Ambas son similares al conocido índice de masculinidad, con la diferencia de que, por un lado, relacionan a hombres y mujeres casaderas entre los que media una cierta diferencia de edades, de acuerdo con las tendencias previas a 1980, observadas en la población mexicana al momento de unirse por primera vez: por otro lado, hacen referencia a la edad o grupo de edad de las mujeres y no a la de los hombres.A través de los resultados obtenidos se observa que es posible agrupar a 28 de las 32 entidades federativas del país en seis diferentes pautas en cuanto al comportamiento de su relación de femineidad por edad individual. De éstas, sólo una muestra un mayor número de hombres que de mujeres en la población soltera mayor de 23 años, la que agrupa a las entidades de Hidalgo, Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa y Sonora. En las cinco pautas restantes, en las cuatro entidades calificadas como “atípicas”, así como a nivel nacional, también se observa un marcado desbalance, sólo que éste se presenta en forma de déficits de hombres (o superávit de mujeres). Estos resultados son corroborados por las relaciones de femineidad por grupo de edad. En general, puede decirse que la región centro norte del país es la más afectada por este fenómeno, ya que las entidades con mayores desequilibrios al interior de sus respectivos mercados matrimoniales fueron Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Jalisco y Aguascalientes.
