“Therein lies a major historic shift: Mexico, a predominantly Roman Catholic country where huge families were once the norm, is sending the stork packing after just two children.
It’s a development that could affect U.S. immigration as Mexico’s population growth slows to a crawl and the trend toward smaller families leads to more disposable income.
After decades of decline, the national fertility rate dropped to a milestone 2.1 children per woman last year, according to Mexico’s National Population Council. That puts Mexico’s rate about even with the United States (2.08), lower than most Latin American countries, and it means more couples are using birth control and straying from Catholic teachings.”
