Es la demografía, estúpido
The Intercensal Survey reveals a critical demographic transformation in Mexico, characterized by the accelerated aging of the population and the shrinking of the demographic dividend. With a rising median age and a very low growth rate, the country faces the challenge of sustaining a pension and healthcare system for an expanding elderly population, while the working-age base shrinks significantly. At the same time, improvements are observed in social indicators such as educational attainment and access to basic housing infrastructure, as well as a lower illiteracy rate. However, these positive advances are counterbalanced by a structural health crisis, evidenced by a decline in formal enrollment in health institutions and a considerable portion of the population lacking access to these services, which compromises overall well-being. This article is relevant to open data because it demonstrates how transparency and rigorous analysis of public data enable the diagnosis of complex structural problems. The availability of this statistical information is essential for civil society, academics, and policymakers to identify long-term trends and demand public policies that respond to the country’s demographic and health realities, promoting evidence-based governance.
