Crime The murder rate in Mexico is a 21.5.

That number meaning without the murders in Mexico the Mexican population would increase by a rate of 21.5. Although the population keeps increasing the full potential cannot be reached with the murder rate.

Food Production Food production in Mexico may be part of

the reason for Mexico's exponential growth in population; mostly because there is positive growth in both food production and population. Although, it may be the population affecting food production if your perspective is from a more logical point of view; aside from that, all Mexico has to do is keep on producing food at the same rate and there population will continue to thrive.

Poverty Poverty is a huge problem in Mexico

with 42% of the population being below the national poverty line. This problem is caused by one or both deficiency areas created by Mexico. The first is social rights, being education, nutrition, and living standards; income is the second area.

Poverty Continued Although less than half of the country

lives in poverty, population continues to grow. The main cause is, “Mexico's wealth is unevenly distributed among its people where 10 percent of nation's wealthiest have 42.2 percent of all income and 10 percent of the nation's poorest have 1.3 of the remaining income.”
