The objective of population policy is to help ensure that Mexicans participate fairly and equally in the benefits of economic and social development, through the regularization of the phenomena that affect the population in terms of volume, structure, dynamics and spatial distribution.
The population policy calls for a comprehensive approach, embedded in the priorities of social development, that promotes a change of mind and strengthens the spirit of foresight and planning in families, as well as the desire for equality among its members, especially on gender issues; which promotes high parental valuation of children and that spreads and settles a demographic culture on the impact of population on the environment and the sustainability of development.
