MEXICO.-" Mexico's population loss accelerated until it reached of 27.6 for every 10,000 inhabitants from April to June of 2012, a level not seen
since 2008 when the financial crisis hit, informed the Geography and Statistics Institute (INEGI) today.
Through a press release, the institution revealed that the decline "is the result of the difference between the immigration rate," of 14.3 new
residents coming from abroad from every 10,000 and the emigration rate that reported 41.9 people leaving this country for another that trimester.
Mexico's immigration reached a "historic low" between April and June of 2012 which sets a decreasing trend, INEGI points.
According to the statistics organization, the highest immigration level peaked during 2007's fourth trimester with 57.9 people per 10,000 inhabitants.
Regarding emigration, a rate that reached 144 for every 10,000 from April to June of 2006, is now at 41.9 over the 34.3 from January to March of 2012
and the 39.4 during the last trimester of 2011.
Classified by age, most of those leaving Mexico are young males from 15 to 24 years of age, but this sector is decreasing as the one of emigrants
between 30 and 49 goes up.
During the 2006-2008 period this last segment represented the 31 percent, but between 2009 and 2011 it went up to 35 percent, according to INEGI.
The international immigration rates have been calculated since the second trimester of 2006 by the INEGI based on the National Occupation and
Employment Survey (ENOE)."
