Sources - What is a population pyramid? In 2008, the National Institute of Geriatrics (NIG), part of the National Institutes of Health, was created to respond to the challenges of the aging population, through gerontological research, education and training of specialized staff, and development of models of care, further increasing research and knowledge on aging.

Population: 127,575,529. Although currently there are large numbers of young people under 18, the 60 years and older population group is already larger than the 0–5 years group, and the “demographic dividend” of a large youthful and working age-population presages the coming demographic peak in aging by mid-century.
The aim of this article is to provide a general overview of population aging in Mexico and its social context, including relevant policies in place for older adults, the core activities of gerontological research and key emerging issues. Many older adults in extreme poverty do not have enough money for food and basic necessities, and working in later adulthood is common. All of these elements will promote economic growth and will provide income security for generations to come. As of 1 January 2020, the population of Mexico was estimated to be 135,073,144 people. By 2050, the old-age dependency ratio in Mexico will have risen to 29 older adults per 100 working-age persons from 9.8 per 100 today (Department of Economic and Social Affairs & World, 2015). Social security and comprehensive benefits are funded through a three-party mechanism where the formal employee, employer, and the government contribute. We have chosen the years between 1950-2050 for our Pyramid to show a balance of historical and future projections. They are often characterized by their typical ‘pyramid’ shape, which has a broad base and narrow top. P. M.

Formula: ([Population ages 0-15] ÷ [Population ages 16-64]) × 100, Elderly dependency ratio Definition: population ages 65-plus divided by the population ages 16-64.Formula: ([Population ages 65-plus] ÷ [Population ages 16-64]) × 100, Total dependency ratio Definition: sum of the youth and old-age ratios. . Few federal and state-level programs target older adults, and the only public social care services available, such as day care and institutionalization, are through the National Institute for Older Adults (Instituto Nacional para las Personas Adultas Mayores, INAPAM) and the National System for Integral Family Development (Sistema Nacional para el Desarrollo Integral de la Familia, DIF).
