It also a significant factor in a society the population growth rate, which in the case of Mexico is 1.15% (2016 estimate).

The population growth rate is based on two elements, the birth and the death rate. In Mexico the birth rate is 18.5 births / 1,000 population (2016 estimate), the death rate 5.3 deaths / 1,000 population (2016 estimate).

In this day and age in developed societies, the first child borns later compared to the previous centuries and decades, so childbearing is extended. In Mexico, the average age of mothers at the first childbirth is N/A.

Although the children’s birth is postponed in the best-case scenario, the parents can still see their kids grow as life expectancy also extended. In the case of Mexico, these figures are.

The infant mortality statistics in Mexico are the following: N/A. Relevant data is the budget of healthcare, which is in the case of this country is 6.3% of GDP (2014).

Economic data of Mexico

Suppose we would like to describe a country. We also have to mention its economy; Mexico’s $2.2 trillion economies have become increasingly oriented toward manufacturing since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force in 1994. Per capita income is roughly one-third that of the US; income distribution remains high. Mexico has become the US’ second-largest export market and the third-largest source of imports. In 2015, two-way trade in goods and services exceeded $592 billion. Mexico has free trade agreements with 46 countries, putting more than 90% of business under the free tax. Mexico’s current government, led by President Enrique PENA NIETO, emphasized economic reforms during its first two years in office, passing and implementing sweeping education, energy, financial, fiscal, and telecommunications reform legislation. Since 2013, Mexico’s economic growth has averaged 2% annually, falling short of private-sector expectations that President Pena Nieto’s sweeping reforms would bolster economic prospects. Growth is predicted to remain below potential given falling oil prod.

GDP is a prominent figure, as all the relevant calculations and statistics are based on it. GDP in Mexico is $1.064 trillion (2015 estimate).

Another important indicator is the rate of GDP growth, which in Mexico is 2.1% (2016 estimate) 2.5% (2015 estimate) 2.2% (2014 estimate).

These statistics affect the world economy; remember, in 2015, the Chinese real GDP growth rate was worse than expected; The world markets fall, and the Chinese stock exchange was temporarily suspended.

A further major factor of a country’s economy, the GDP per capita. In Mexico this is $18,900 (2016 estimate) $18,700 (2015 estimate) $18,400 (2014 estimate).

In the economy, the Trinity is in common places, such as agriculture, industry, and services.

Note: active local transmission of Zika virus by Aedes species mosquitoes has been identified in this country (as of August 2016); it poses a significant risk (a large number of cases possible) among US citizens if bitten by an infective mosquito; other less common ways to get Zika are through sex, via blood transfusion, or during pregnancy, in which the pregnant woman passes Zika virus to her fetus (2016).

However, HIV is not curable but maintainable. Let’s do not forget when the disease surfaced; it was a world threatening condition. Unfortunately, in some countries, it is still very high the number of infected patients and fatalities due to the disease.
In Mexico, the number of HIV/AIDS deaths: N/A.

Regarding tourism obesity, not an important issue, but we have to mention health statistics, as it is the plague of the 20th and the 21st century. The rate of obese adults in Mexico is 27.6% (2014).

What are the natural hazards in Mexico? Is there any?

The most known natural risk in Mexico is tsunamis along the Pacific coast, volcanoes and destructive earthquakes in the center and south, and hurricanes on the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean coasts. Volcanism: volcanic activity in the central-southern part of the country; the volcanoes in Baja California are mostly dormant; Colima (elevation 3,850 m), which erupted in 2010, is Mexico’s most active volcano and is responsible for causing periodic evacuations of nearby villagers; it has been deemed a Decade Volcano by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior, worthy of study due to its explosive history and proximity to human populations; Popocatepetl (elevation 5,426 m) poses a threat to Mexico City; other historically active volcanoes include Barcena, Ceboruco, El Chichon, Michoacan-Guanajuato, Pico de Orizaba, San Martin, Socorro, and Tacana.

More interesting facts about Mexico

A few words about the past, as every country and society, is connected to its history; The site of several advanced Amerindian civilizations – including the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya, and Aztec – Mexico was conquered and colonized by Spain in the early 16th century. Administered as the Viceroyalty of New Spain for three centuries, it achieved independence early in the 19th century. Elections held in 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that an opposition candidate – Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) – defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He was succeeded in 2006 by another PAN candidate Felipe CALDERON, but Enrique PENA NIETO regained the PRI presidency in 2012. The global financial crisis in late 2008 caused a massive economic downturn in Mexico the following year, although growth returned quickly in 2010.

Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, high underemployment, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the impoverished southern states’ mostly indigenous population. Since 2007, Mexico’s influential drug-trafficking organizations have engaged in bloody feuding, resulting in tens of thousands of drug-related homicides.

In every nation’s memory, some cornerstones placed the country on the timeline of history. The date of declaration of Mexico’s independence: 16 September 1810 (declared); 27 September 1821 (recognized by Spain).

The flag and other symbols of Mexico

The colors, symbols, and animals on the flag usually have a historical background or an important milestone or memory of the nation.

This case is not an exception either; three equal vertical bands of green (hoist side), white, and red; Mexico’s coat of arms (an eagle with a snake in its beak perched on a cactus) is centered in the white band; green signifies hope, joy, and love; white represents peace and honesty; red stands for hardiness, bravery, strength, and valor; the coat of arms is derived from a legend that the wandering Aztec people were to settle at a location where they would see an eagle on a cactus eating a snake; the city they founded, Tenochtitlan, is now Mexico City. Note: similar to the flag of Italy, which is shorter, uses lighter shades of red and green and does not display anything in its white band.

Apart from the flag, the symbol of national unity is the national anthem. The anthem’s primary purpose is to share the nation’s core values, endeavors, and patriotic feelings.

National symbols of Mexico: golden eagle; national colors: green, white, red.

Constitution of Mexico

The existence of the nation is based on the constitution. Some constitutions knew worldwide, like the U.S. Constitution that was accepted on the 17th of September 1787, in Philadelphia, the United States of America’s Constitution.

It is not related to the declaration of independence that was stolen by Nicolas Cage in the movie National Treasure 🙂

What is the legal system of Mexico?

Most of the time, the legal system of a country is the focus of lawyers. It is a common fact that there are two main approaches in the world, “the law in books” and “the law in action.”

In the Anglo-Saxon world, the practice is the “law in action,” while in the rest of the world, the law is based on Roman law, the “law in books.”

Mexico’s legal system is a civil law system with US constitutional law influence; judicial review of legislative acts.

It was Aristotle who founded the Theory of 3 separations of powers. In his view, these are the council of public affairs, the magistrates, and the justice system. The age of enlightenment was the time when terminologies have defined the way we still use them. In most democratic countries, the three authorities separated from each other. In dictatorships, the rules usually interweaved in one hand.

About the legislative branch of Mexico, we can highlight the following structures bicameral National Congress or Congreso de la Union consists of the Senate or Camara de Senadores (128 seats; 96 members directly elected in multi-seat constituencies by simple majority vote and 32 directly elected in a single, nationwide constituency by proportional representation vote; members serve 6-year terms) and the Chamber of Deputies or Camara de Diputados (500 seats; 300 members directly elected in single-seat constituencies by simple majority vote and 200 directly elected in a single, nationwide constituency by proportional representation vote; members serve 3-year terms).

About the unemployment rate, labor force, and poverty line in Mexico

One of the major problems of the 21st-century economy is unemployment. Governments are struggling to maintain a low level of the unemployment rate. Still, as a result of automation, the cheap 3rd world labor, and the outsourcing of workflow, these attempts fail. In Mexico, the labor force is 53.74 million (2016 estimate). Please bear in mind that the population in Mexico is total: 11.9 deaths / 1,000 live births; male: 13.3 deaths / 1,000 live births, female: 10.4 deaths / 1,000 live births (2016 estimate) – as we already mentioned above.

In Mexico, the households’ income and consumption compared to the entire population: lowest 10%: 2% highest 10%: 37.5% (2010).

Another widely used indicator is the so-called GINI index, which measures the inequalities of statistical dispersion, but is mainly used for measuring the sharing of income and fortune.

The GINI index was named after its founder Corrado Gini, an Italian economist. Gini index has grades between 0-1, but often it is used on a percentage basis. It is 0 if the examined criteria territorial distribution is equal. It is one of the criteria concentrated on the territory. In Mexico, the GINI index is .48,3 (2008).

The states usually set up a poverty line, which is more or less, is a subjective measure. It varies by country; its base is often the minimum pension, the incomes of the most deficient 20 percent, the X percent of income per capita Etc.

Renewable energies used in Mexico

To suppress the pollution of the environment, renewable energies have to replace the fossil energy. The more the proportion of renewable energies in a country means more effort against pollution. Mexico, the indicator of how much of the country’s produced energy is coming from the hydroelectric source, is 18.7% of total installed capacity (2012 estimate).

To indicate how much another renewable energy produced is 4.7% of total installed capacity (2012 estimate).

Transport infrastructure in Mexico

In the 21st century, we often say that the world has become small and there are no distances anymore.
