Older adults in the formation of households in Hidalgo

In the last seventy years, Mexican society has undergone profound economic, political, social and cultural transformations. In particular, during the sixties and seventies, economic growth, the increase in the salaried labor force, rural-urban migration and the subsequent expansion of the country's main cities were consolidated. Important advances were also made in education, health and social security (ECLAC, 1993). In addition, a new population policy was implemented and family planning services were consolidated.
