IN THE LAST 50 YEARS, Mexico has experienced vast demographic changes that have had significant implications for its social, economic, and political life. Between 1940 and 1970 mortality declined sharply, resulting in one of the highest rates of growth in the world. This period also saw the country's urbanization and the emergence of Mexico City as a metropolitan area. Toward the end of this period, in the late 1960s, a steep decline of fertility began. These three demographic changes have occurred within a relatively short time and have shaped the population problems that have figured in national debates, not only in the past 50 years, but throughout Mexico's history. Since its independence in 1821, the Mexican state has periodically attempted to produce demographic change through laws and administrative actions. For more than a century and a half, policy was profoundly pronatalist; since the mid-1970s, the Mexican government has implemented programs to limit growth. This chapter focuses on the demographic changes experienced in Mexico during the past 50 years as outcomes of its policies
