Aging in France and Mexico

As documented by WWW, the aging trend of the populations in the developed economies of the world such as France is characterized by two socio-demographic developments. First, due to medical advances and the increased socioeconomic quality of life, people in developed countries such as France tend to live longer because they do not die from illnesses during their youth. Moreover, they also tend to live longer after they have reached old age. Second, the fertility rates of the developed world have also been declining (WWW iii).

In contrast, Mexico that has been classified as a country that is in the "intermediate stage of economic development" (WWW iv) has only just begun to experience the aging phenomenon that has been underway in the developed countries for several decades. While France has already experienced fertility rates that have fallen below the replacement levels, Mexico's fertility rates that has been decreasing over the last two decades have not yet dipped below the replacement rate level
