Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyse the fertility of immigrant women born in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru, residing in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, and their contribution to the aggregate level of this component in 2001 and 2010. A comparative analysis is presented with respect to native-born female population and women in the countries of origin, based on cohort and period fertility indicators. The results show that immigrants from the countries studied present higher cumulative fertility, earlier reproductive structures and higher levels of period fertility than Argentine women. The relationship with the population of origin is, however, more complex. In this regard, some of the main hypotheses for the interaction between migration and fertility are examined. Finally, although the contribution of bordering immigrants to the birth rate is moderate, their impact on the level of total fertility is irrelevant and does not significantly change the aggregate results.
