Los resultados mas sustantivos apuntan a que las tasas de ilegitimidad y de matrimonios son fenomenos que cambian frente a transformaciones en la estructura economica y social existente y a los incentivos que ello genera en el comportamiento de los agentes. En particular, los resultados sugieren que el fuerte aumento de la tasa de ilegitimidad entre 1880 y 1920 probablemente va asociado a un intenso proceso de urbanizacion y de movimientos desde el campo (y de la agricultura) a la ciudad. Este gran aumento en la tasa de ilegitimidad del periodo mencionado no se compensa con los efectos de ingreso hasta la decada de 1920. La contracara de este fenomeno es la tasa de matrimonios por poblacion, en la que encontramos que existe una correlacion robusta con la razon de hombres a mujeres y con medidas de desarrollo economico, en que a mas desarrollo hay mas posibilidades de formalizar la relacion de pareja en un matrimonio EnglishThis paper presents a series of stylized facts about the historical evolution of the rate of illegitimacy in Chile, looking both at aggregate data from 1848 to the present and at department-level data for the 1862-1948 period. The main results suggest that the rate of illegitimacy and marriage are phenomena that change depending on the economic and social structure and the incentives present in different periods rather than being predetermined structural and historical situations. In particular, our results suggest that the sharp increase in the rate of illegitimacy in the period between 1880 and 1920 probably is correlated with urbanization and migration to cities (and agriculture from other sectors). This is not compensated by significant income effects until the early 1920s. In parallel, the ratio of marriages to the total population is also strongly correlated with the sex-ratio and with proxies of economic activity
