How many children does the average family in Mexico have?

Answer 1

Right now, there are 2.34 children per woman. This means the average Mexican family is composed of the father, the mother and the three children.

However, it is pretty common that Mexican families tend to live together under the same roof, because of housing cost sharing and closer family ties (i.e: the aunts sometimes take care or babysit the children). This means grandpa, grandma, their sons, their wives and their children live together.

Answer 2

However, it is pretty common that Mexican extended families tend to live together under the same roof, because of housing cost sharing and closer family ties (i.e: aunts and grandmothers sometimes take care or babysit the children). This means grandpa, grandma, their sons, their wives and their children tend to live altogether.
