[Population and development in Mexico:  a synthesis of recent experience].
Changes in the relationship between population factors and the development process in Mexico from 1940 to the present are reviewed. The authors show how the development that occurred up to about 1970 both absorbed and encouraged rapid population growth.  They then describe how the emergence of problems concerning this relationship led to the development of a population policy during the 1970s.  "The paper then takes up the implementation of that policy and the determinants of the fertility decline that took place afterwards, and closes with a brief review of the implications that demographic considerations have for Mexico's future."
