One effect of population growth in Mexico is?

Answer 1

If population growth outpaces economic growth, it leads to economic stagnation, less income and ultimately, poverty.

As an example, Mexico grew from 83 million people in 1990 to 91 million in 1995. At the same time, the economy grew from US$262 billion to 287 billion. Income per capita in 1990 and 1995 would be:

1990: US$3,157

1995: US$3,153

This means that even if the economy grew at a solid 1.2% per year, the real per capita income decreased by almost 1% during those 5 years due to the population growth outpacing economic growth.
