This paper pursues a comparison between sociographic profiles and birthcare conditions related to the Portuguese and Cape Verdean mothers living in Portugal, considering the cultural and ethnic variables as determinants to possible distinctions. Based on the live birth Survey, the Fertility Survey results and the Population Census (official statistics produced by the National Statistics Institute), a statistical analysis was performed, namely, a K-means Cluster Analysis and a Multiple Correspondence Analysis. We adopted a longitudinal and comparative perspective in the 1995–2013 period. Furthermore, a synchronic analysis approach has been underlined, thoroughly exploring the database of entries of live births for the year 2013. Despite the fertility rate being lower in the Portuguese population, there is a tendency for convergence between the fertility patterns of both populations, which reveals a porosity of the Cape Verdean population by incorporating a different fertility model from the one that exists in their country of origin. Fertility occurs later in the Portuguese women compared with the Cape Verdeans. Differences were also observed in both populations, regarding the sociographic profiles, the birthcare conditions and, finally, the marital status and family structure.

生育和母亲医疗保健结果的种族差异：葡萄牙人口和生活在葡萄牙的佛得角

本文将文化特征和种族变量作为可能区别的决定因素，从而对居住在葡萄牙的葡萄牙人和佛得角母亲的社会特征和生育条件进行了比较。基于活产调查，生育力调查结果和人口普查（国家统计局提供的官方统计数据），进行了统计分析，即K均值聚类分析和多元对应分析。我们在1995-2013年期间采用了纵向和比较性的观点。此外，强调了一种共时分析方法，彻底探索了2013年活产婴儿的条目数据库。尽管葡萄牙人口的生育率较低，两种人口的生育方式之间趋于趋同，这表明佛得角人口的孔隙度是通过纳入与原籍国不同的生育力模型得出的。与佛得角相比，葡萄牙女性生育率更高。在社会统计资料，生育保健条件以及最后的婚姻状况和家庭结构方面，两个人口也存在差异。
