Growth Trends in Latin American Populations

The population of the Western Hemisphere south of the Rio Grande, including the Caribbean islands, presently grows at an average rate of 2.5 percent annually, with a range among reporting units of 1.3 to 4.0. Death rates are declining to levels common in Western Europe and North America, while ferti...

520 |a The population of the Western Hemisphere south of the Rio Grande, including the Caribbean islands, presently grows at an average rate of 2.5 percent annually, with a range among reporting units of 1.3 to 4.0. Death rates are declining to levels common in Western Europe and North America, while fertility remains high on the average, particularly in the circum-Caribbean area. While infant mortality is generally well in excess of prevailing U.S. rates, it too is declining. International migration is not a major determinant of growth in Latin America, although in the Caribbean units out-migration and inter-island migration are significant. However, internal migration and urbanization are both relevant and significant in many countries, and contribute substantially to population reallocation. The institution of African slavery, as well as the lot and numbers of indigenous peoples, have had great impact on population composition and characteristics. Cultural pluralism within the overall region is greater than at times believed.
