The statistic depicts the age distribution of Mexico from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, around 24.92 percent of Mexico's population were between 0 and 14 years of age, around 67.1 percent between the ages of 15 and 64, and about 7.99 percent were 65 years or older.

The statistic depicts the median age in Mexico from 1950 to 2100. The median age of a population is an index that divides the population into two equal groups: half of the population is older than the median age and the other half younger. In 2020, the median age of Mexico's population was 27.9 years.

In 2023, there were around 30.85 million people younger than 15 in the Latin American country, down from 31.25 million in the previous year. Most of Mexico's inhabitants fell within the range of 15 to 64 years of age. The age group of 65+ years old is the only segment of the Mexican population that has been increasing constantly in the past decade.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Mexico, MO population pyramid, which represents the Mexico population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Mexico, MO, is 27.7.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Mexico, MO, is 28.9.
• Total dependency ratio for Mexico, MO is 56.5.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Mexico, MO is 3.5.
