  • Title: [Population growth rate of one percent in the year 2000: an unattainable target].
    Author: Aguirre A.
    Journal: Estud Demogr Urbanos Col Mex; 1986; 1(3):443-74. PubMed ID: 12281144.
    Abstract:
    The author demonstrates the unattainability of Mexico's population policy target of reducing the natural increase rate to one percent by the end of this century. In order to reach this goal, the net reproduction rate would have to decrease to significantly below replacement level, or 0.667; this would produce dramatic changes in the age structure as well. The policy's objectives are also analyzed in terms of the extent of family planning necessary to reach the target growth rate.
