ORDORICA-MELLADO, Manuel. 1974: turning point of the population policy. Pap. poblac [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.81, pp.9-23. ISSN 2448-7147.

The year 1974 was very important in the politics of the country's population. In that year the Earth came to 4 billion inhabitants, and thereafter every twelve years, until now, the population of the world increases by one billion people. The National Population Council, demographic planning unit was created in Mexico. The rate of population was growing very fast, 3.5 per cent per year. The population doubled every 20 years. Mexico changes its pronatalist population policy to one directed to lower levels of fertility. Mexico plays a very important role in the world population Conference in Bucharest. Our population policy becomes a State policy in the last quarter of the 20th century.
