In 2023, the crude birth rate in live births per 1,000 inhabitants in Mexico stood at 15.71. Between 1960 and 2023, the figure dropped by 31.15, though the decline followed an uneven course rather than a steady trajectory.

In Mexico, the crude birth rate in 1900 was 47 live births per thousand people, meaning that 4.7 percent of the population had been born in that year. In the first half of the twentieth century the crude birth rate of Mexico fluctuates, between 41 and 48, before gradually declining from 1955 until today. Improved living conditions, economic opportunities and education have led to a decrease in Mexico's crude birth rate, and it is expected to fall below 18 births per thousand in 2020.

The fertility rate of a country is the average number of children that women from that country will have throughout their reproductive years. In 1900, Mexican women of childbearing age would go on to have approximately 6.8 children on average over the course of their lifetime, however this number dropped to 5.6 by 1920, partly because of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). The fertility rate increased again over the course of the next sixty years, reaching 6.8 in the 1950s and 1960s, during the worldwide baby boom. However, Mexico's fertility rate has been decreasing steadily since 1970, and is expected to reach it's lowest figure ever in 2020, where the fertility rate will be 2.1 children per woman.

The crude birth rate in Mexico decreased by 0.3 live births per 1,000 inhabitants (-1.87 percent) in 2023 in comparison to the previous year. In 2023, the rate thereby reached its lowest value in recent years. The crude birth rate is the annual number of live births divided by the total population, expressed per 1,000 people.

The total number of births in Mexico City showed a steady decline in the last decade. Between 2010 and 2022, the number of births in this federal entity decreased by 72 percent, falling to approximately 44,790 in the last year. This sharp decline in the number of births is one of the reasons behind the process of aging experienced by the country's capital in the last decades.

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

Using historical data on the size of state-specific Mexican birth cohorts and geographic migration networks between Mexican states and US metropolitan areas, I construct an instrumental variable that predicts decadal migration from Mexico to the United States. The intuition behind this identification strategy is that larger historical birth cohorts in Mexico yield more potential migrants once each birth cohort reaches prime migration age. I report evidence that Mexican immigration is associated with a decline in property crimes and an increase in aggravated assaults. The available evidence suggests that this is not an artifact of reduced crime reporting among immigrants.
