Mexico’s population loss increased to 27.6 people per 10,000 inhabitants between April and June this year, the highest level it has been at since 2008, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).
The population loss, which was last at a similar level at the start of the global financial crisis in 2008, is occurring because if the wide gap between the immigration and emigration rate, with the former being at 14.3 immigrants per 10,000 inhabitants and the latter standing at 41.9 people per 10,000 inhabitants.
Immigration fell to an all-time low in the April-June period, meaning the downward trend continued, revealed the INEGI. It added that immigration surged to a record high of 57.9 inhabitants per 10,000 in the final quarter of 2007.
Emigration, which climbed to 144 people per 10,000 inhabitants during between April and June in 2006, now stands at 41.9 individuals per 10,000 inhabitants; this is compared to 34.3 people per 10,000 inhabitants in the first three months of 2012 and 39.4 in the final quarter of last year.
The majority of emigrants are in the 15-24 age group, but that percentage is falling and the 30-49 age bracket is expanding. Between 2006 and 2008, 31 per cent of emigrants were males in between the ages of 30 and 49, while that figure jumped to 35 per cent between 2009 and 2011.
