          Abstract

          Estudio cualitativo que explora el proceso de toma de decisiones en la reproducción. Describe el contexto para dicha decisión. Se entrevistan 17 hombres y 23 mujeres, entre 20 y 35 años, de diferentes estratos sociales, procedencias y niveles educativos, con relación de pareja mayor a un año. Metodológicamente se apoya en la teoría fundada y el interaccionismo simbólico. Los hallazgos muestran diferentes significados de reproducirse y de interpretar las normas de género, los cuales guían las decisiones sobre la descendencia. Cuando las parejas entienden la reproducción como un fin, deciden prepararse y planear el número y el momento de realizarla. Son decisiones dialogadas y concertadas a la luz de sus planes de vida. Cuando entienden reproducirse como un medio para lograr fines individuales, como son, desde lo masculino obtener placer sexual o cuidados, y desde lo femenino, encontrar estabilidad afectiva, emocional y económica para tener unas determinadas condiciones de vida, las decisiones son individuales no negociadas. No se preparan, e interpretan rígidamente las normas de género, lo cual conduce a relaciones de inequidad. La reproducción no es motivo de preocupación y en consecuencia, los hijos aparecen inesperadamente, lo que se convierte en motivo permanente de conflicto entre la pareja.

          Translated abstract

          Qualitative study which explores the decision-making process in reproduction. This article describes the context to decide reproduction. Seventeen (17) men and 23 women, between 20 and 35 years old from different social strata and educational levels, with over one year of couple relationship were interviewed. This study is methodologically based on the funded theory and symbolic interactionism. The findings show different meanings of reproduction and interpretation of the principles of gender which guide the decisions regarding offspring. When a couple understands reproduction as an end, they decide to prepare themselves and to plan the number of children and the moment of their arrival. Their decisions are shared and concerted, and guided by their life plans. When they take reproduction as a means to achieve individual purposes, such as, sexual pleasure or care for the male, and affective, economic and emotional stability as well as certain economic conditions for the female, their decisions are individual but not negotiated. They do not prepare themselves and do not interpret gender principles and make unfair decisions. They do not worry about reproduction, and consequently, their children appear unexpectedly. This event becomes a source of conflict between them.
