Abstract
Mexico is already at an advanced stage in its demographic transition, driven by lower fertility rates coupled with lower mortality rates resulting in longer average lifespans.1 A key feature of demographic trends in Mexico is the rapid rate at which the older population is growing. According to data from the United Nations, in 2020, the population age 60 years or older reached 14.5 million, representing 11 percent of the total population. Women make up 55 percent of this group and men 45 percent. Furthermore, it is expected that in 2050, one out of four people in Mexico will be 60 and older (about 40 million people).2 Turning Challenges into Opportunities: Accelerated Aging in Mexico
