This dissertation aims to describe the effect of variety of gender relations in Brasil on the infant mortality by combining ethnographic insights with homogamy by race and education with econometric analysis. I used micro data from the 2000 Census pertaining to women in union aged 15 to 34 years of age. The present selection is based upon the Brass Technique for infant mortality in which the sons death age depends on the mothers age group. Thereby, the intact families were reconstituted accordingly to the women's age group. As part of this selection, live-born children who have expired were separated, through a logistic distribution, from those who survived. Following, there was a comparison between the spouses according to their incomes originated from pensions and welfare, since those do not incorporate worked hours in the labor market, but just the allocated domicile time. Finally, it was evaluated, through an external parameter to the domiciles, whether the presence of an alternative consort on the marriage market, at sex ratio, may risk the union and increasing the power of negotiation for the spouse who is in scarcity in the marriage market.
