Description:	The countries of southern Europe have begun to reduce conjugal fertility at a later date compared to most other nations in the west. This has been explained by means of the category of delay: the backwardness of the processes of accumulation and economic development being seen as the cause of the maintaining of the reproductive models of the past. Moreover, the influence of the Catholic Church in Italy, Spain and Portugal is supposed to have delayed the processes of secularisation, rendering difficult the changes in mentality necessary for assuming modern patterns of reproductive behaviour not only for fertility, but also for the variables which are strictly linked to it, such as sexuality, contraception and abortion (Livi Bacci, 1977; Lesthaeghe and Wilson, 1986).
