What was the main cause of population change in Mexico?

Ongoing industrialization and the "Green Revolution" are the main causes of population change in Mexico. An ongoing industrialization that started around 1930 (from a very low base, though) started to change the population dynamics, including immigration from rural communities to urban areas. The green revolution during the second half of the 20th century allowed for increased yields of wheat, rice and maize crops. Both factors explain the population explosion in Mexico, which increased from 12-14 million from 1521 to 1921 to 25 million in 1950 to 56 million in 1975 to 112 million in 2010.
