Mobilidade espacial da população: sua implicação na saúde sexual e reprodutiva na Cidade de Xai-Xai

Abstract

This degree work in Geography presents the theme of the spatial mobility of the population and its implications for sexual and reproductive health in the city of Xai - Xai province of Gaza. The work is structured in five (5) chapters, in addition to the bibliographical listing and annexes. The first chapter constitutes the introductory part. The second presents a theoretical approach to migration and sexual and reproductive health. The third chapter is the characterization of the study area. In the fourth chapter, the results of the field work are presented and analyzed. The fifth chapter is the conclusions. In this work, we seek to analyze the relationship between spatial mobility and sexual and reproductive behavior in the city of Xai-Xai. In order to achieve this objective, the bibliographical framework was used, which allowed a general approach to be made on migration and the sexual and reproductive health of the population. Fieldwork was also used, based on a questionnaire carried out in the study area, involving a sample of 384 people. This work indicates that mobility and migration increases the vulnerability of STDs and HIV/AIDS, both in mobile and non-mobile people. In the study area there is a greater dissemination about STDs and HIV/AIDS, but the majority of the population has not accepted this information. In the city of Xai-Xai, most of the population is young, with 55.9% of the population aged between 0 and 19 years. And these have mostly a low level of education (EP1) with 69% being those who do not have opportunities to be employed in the formal market of activity.(TRADUÇÁO NOSSA)
