Trends in Working Age Population Percentage in Mexico from 1990 to 2022

Mexico’s working-age population saw continuous growth from 1990 to 2022, increasing from 56.8% to 67.2%. This upward trend is largely attributed to Mexico’s youthful demographics and urbanization, as well as economic factors such as growth in manufacturing and export industries, particularly under NAFTA. The working-age population grew consistently, signaling Mexico’s economic resilience and adaptability, with a high percentage of youth entering the workforce. This trend points toward a favorable demographic dividend, although future shifts in birth rates and employment policies may affect labor supply dynamics.
