POPULATION IN MEXICO IN THE LAST 10 YEARS

     For the last 10 years the population in Mexico increased gradually.  Mexico is a federal republic

in North America,  it is the bordered on the north by the United States ;   is the fifth largest country in

 the Americans by total area.  Then, in 2004 the population in Mexico was 103.03 million. Next, the

people could had a big place to live, and big houses.  Also in the same year it was easy to find a job,

  but the people had low salaries,  the food was very expensive, and the education it was bad because 

the salaries was low, and the government did not provided sufficient materials, and support for the

education students,  and scholarships.  Also some people can't pay for travel to another country,

 for a good education.  Now,  the population in Mexico is 113 million, and we had a lot problems

because the population increased, and is hard to find a job.  Also the food is really expensive, and the

education is still a big problem because the population grew around 10 million,  from 2004 to 2014,

 and 70% of the schools not receive enough help from the government.  For these reasons 20%  of

Mexican people are moving to live in another country to find a good job, better opportunities, and

better future because the situation in Mexico is terrible.  Finally, Mexico' s economy is bad, but is the

beautiful place, it is characterized by beautiful beaches, nice places to play sports, and delicious

Mexican food.
