General demographics of Mexico

Picture
Young Mexican Couple
With a population over 114 million (2011), Mexico is considered the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. Mexico is the third  most populous country in the western hemisphere, after the United States and Brazil.

Mexico population throughout most of the twentieth century was characterized by rapid growth, however over the past decade this growth has slowed and stabilized with the average annual population growth now around 1%, which is creating opportunities for a more manageable picture for jobs, economic growth and sustainable government programs. Mexico is entering a period of productivity with most of its general population being young.  The average age of the  population in Mexico is early to mid 20's. The most populous city in the country is the capital city, Mexico City which together with its metropolitan area is also considered one of the most populous in the world.
