Demographic Transitions And Economic Growth In Mexico

Mr. Villarreal s project examines the connection between demographics and economic growth, with an emphasis on the effect of changes in the age structure of populations caused by demographic transition. Specifically he seeks to determine the effects that the change in the age distribution of the population has had, and could have, on Mexico s economic performance. Understanding how demographic shifts affect economies is crucial to designing appropriate public policies that help take full advantage of these changes, especially in underdeveloped countries like Mexico.
