TI  - Socio-demographic transformations and living conditions among two indigenous and 
      black populations in Northern Cauca during the period of 1993-2005.
PG  - 126-32
AB  - OBJECTIVES: To describe the changes that occurred in some patterns of 
      socio-demographic variables and in living conditions among the Nasa, Guambiana 
      and Afrocolombian populations in the northern region of the Department of Cauca, 
      and those occurring in two residential communities, one white-mestizo and one 
      black, in Cali during the 1993-2005 period. METHODS: This paper presents a 
      descriptive study that analyzes several socio-demographic indicators from the 
      census of 1993 and 2005, the specific data include: rate of juvenile dependency; 
      total masculinity index; average size of the household; specific global and local 
      birth rates, and infant mortality rates; life expectancy at birth; average years 
      of schooling; health cover age status; and percentage of the population with 
      unmet basic needs (UBN). In this way, it is possible to note differences in the 
      course of socio-demographic evolution and in the standard of living trends in the 
      differing populations under study. RESULTS: The Guambiana Indian population in 
      the municipality of Silvia presents lower birth rates than the Nasa population, 
      characterized by their seasonal birth rates. Differing from the pattern of the 
      indigenous people of Northern Cauca, the Afro-Colombian population both from this 
      region and from the population residing in the urban zones of Cali's tend to show 
      similar socio-demographic patterns. CONCLUSIONS: Although there have been 
      profound changes recorded during this period among these populations under study, 
      the ethnic-racial inequalities and those of social class seem to persist. From 
      this first diagnosis, attention is called to the need for a more adequate 
      reproductive health policy to attend the specific needs presented by the 
      indigenous population.

COIS- Conflicts of Interest: We declare that no conflict of interest exists with the 
      supporting entity for completing this article.Nor is there an ethical problem 
      involved as the empirical source of the study included microdata from two 
      censuses (1993 and 2005) which lack individual identification and its use has 
      been strictly academic.
