| Sumario: | This article approaches the issue on territorial population allocation
in Mexico and its concentration in the cities, understood as
a specific dimension of the countryís economic development.
Specifically, two strong trends, pointed out in some population
projections for the year 2000, are analyzed. These trends are: the
decrease on rural-urban migration and the decrease on rural population
in total terms. The first hypothesis comes to contradict,
what has been called for about a century, one of the ìdemographic
lawsî: the steady increase of rural-urban migration. The second
hypothesis demands for a detailed analysis because at first
glance it would seem opposed to the former, but the contradiction
vanishes if the phenomenon is considered from the reclassification
perspective of rural localities into urban ones. Ultimately,
both hypothesis represent important warnings for the design
of population politics. |
