Population Statistics of Mexico
|
|
|
|
Mexico is a growing country, who's population is gradually increasing
|
|
every year by around 3« percent each year. In 1940, the population was
|
|
recorded at 19,654,000 people. This population then increased to 25,791,000
|
|
people in 1950. This indicates a growth of 6,137,000 people in just a
|
|
decade. The population in 1960 was then recorded at 34,923,000 people. This
|
|
new raise indicated a growth of 9,132,000 people in another decade. In
|
|
1970, the population grew to 48,377,000 people; a rise of 13,45,400 people
|
|
in ten years. The population of 1980 was recorded at 67,382,000 people.
|
|
This indicated a rise of 19,005,000 people, in one decade. The current
|
|
population in 1990 at 88,598,000 people showed a rise of 21,216,000 people
|
|
in just ten years! The year 2000's estimation of the population of Mexico
|
|
is set at 107,233,000 people. That would mean a rise of 18,635,000 people
|
|
in a decade, showing that the population growth rate is slowly decreasing.
|
|
|
|
The growth rate of Mexico is the result of its traditionally high
|
|
birth rate, and its sharply reduced death rate. Many more people are being
|
|
born, than dying. This causes a great increase in population each year.
|
|
Since the 1930's, improved living conditions and expanded health services
|
|
has cut the death rate by more than half, thus causing the population to
|
|
increase every year since the 1940's. Perhaps now the Government's only
|
|
chief problem is trying to provide housing , jobs, and schools for the
|
|
rapidly increasing population. Therefore the government has tried to tell
|
|
people to limit the amount kids they have (although no law has been placed
|
|
under act.)
|
|
|
|
Another reason for population increase in the past 60 years is due to
|
|
the fact that the majority of Mexico's population is Roman Catholic. And in
|
|
this religion, no birth control is practised, leading to many unwanted
|
|
pregnancies, and an increase in population. Families also prefer having
|
|
more children, so they can work on the fields for them, and bring in money.
|
|
This also causes a rise in population.
|
|
|
|
In the area of comparing the indexed data of Canada, the United States
|
|
of America, and Mexico, Mexico's rise was extremely drastic compared to the
|
|
other two countries. Canada and the United States of America had relatively
|
|
the same vertical climb, going from about 100-250 (Canada being the bigger
|
|
increased one). Mexico's however went from 100 all the way up to 550, which
|
|
is shown on the graph. The baby booms, fitness booms, and all the other
|
|
fads increased the population growth rate of Canada and the United States
|
|
of America, but had no comparison to the immense growth of Mexico. Mexico
|
|
began it's major increase during the early 1970's, and still has yet to
|
|
start slowing down it's growth rate. Mexico's growth rate will stay around
|
|
the same for the next few years, maybe slowing down slightly, due to the
|
|
impact of the recession, which posed many problems, for every country in
|
|
the world.
|
|
|
|
Mexico occupies one million, nine-hundred twenty-three thousand and
|
|
forty square kilometres. Its climate ranges from Tropical (in the southerly
|
|
regions) to desert (in the more North-Eastern regions). According to the
|
|
1990 population census, it has a population of 88.598 million people. It
|
|
has an average population of about forty-seven people per square kilometre.
|
|
Most of Mexico's population is located in South-Central Mexico, around
|
|
Mexico City (Mexico's Capital City). This specific part of Mexico has over
|
|
100 people per square kilometre. This area ranges from about. 200 metres to
|
|
approximately 500 metres above sea level. In the sub-tropical area of
|
|
Mexico with a lot of flat land and good soil for agriculture.
|
|
|
|
There are many reasons for the majority of Mexico's population being
|
|
located here and not somewhere else in the country. One of the main
|
|
reasons is climate. In the Northern areas, there is a desert climate with
|
|
very little or no rain. In the area where the main population is located,
|
|
there is a sub-tropical climate that has distinct wet and dry seasons but
|
|
still provides a good amount of annual precipitation. This leads to
|
|
another reason which is availability of water (due to tropical and sub-
|
|
tropical climate). Due to an influx of environment-polluting industries
|
|
along with the country's (sometimes) harsh environment, much of Mexico's
|
|
water supply is very polluted. Water is needed for life and there for
|
|
where there is no water, there is no life. In the desert areas, there is
|
|
basically no water. When there is water up here, it is too polluted for
|
|
consumption. In the central (mountainous) areas the water is much too
|
|
difficult to obtain. However in the south central area there is a good
|
|
amount of water that is not as polluted as elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
Another reason for the high population of parts of Mexico being the
|
|
way it is, is the land forms or topography of Mexico. Most of Central
|
|
Mexico is too Mountainous and rugged for humans to survive on. In the
|
|
south the land is more flat. There is also better soil quality in the
|
|
south that in the mountains. The flat land is more suitable for building
|
|
houses, factories and other buildings. The only other area of flat land is
|
|
in the north, which is a desert and is unsuitable for humans. This is shown
|
|
by the population of the North and North Eastern areas being ten or fewer
|
|
people per square kilometre. In the southern regions, there are also more
|
|
employment opportunities due to the industries being built there. These
|
|
industries pollute the water supply which has a major effect on the
|
|
population.
