A fundamental issue for choosing
off-shore locations is the ease in which a
country does business abroad. Mexico has
advantageous Free Trade Agreements and

Mexico’s network of 12 major agreements
covers 44 countries on four continents. This
is a unique opportunity for international
commerce and investment because it gives
strategic access to a potential market of over
one billion consumers which represents
close to 60% of the world’s GDP.

Population and human capital /
A country of young people
Mexico had a registered population of almost 107.5 million inhabitants in
2009, 55% of whom were under 30 years of age.
A COUNTRY WITH
QUALIFIED LABOR
There are over 750,000 engineering and
technology students.
Close to 90,000 new engineering and technical
students graduate each year from Mexican
universities.
In 2009 the country’s registered Economically Active Population (EAP) was
made up of 46.2 million people, which exceeded the number of registered
people in 2008 by 800,000 people.
The Mexican Higher Education System is made
up of 2,539 institutions which offer educational
services and, of course, international exchange
opportunities.
The economically dependent population is forecast to be 46.1% in
2025 – a historical low. It is estimated that in the next three decades, the
number of individuals of working age in Mexico will reach 101 million, and
that the economically active population will reach 62 million.
Higher education in Mexico reaches a total
enrollment (school and non-school) of almost 3
million students.

first and only university in the country dedicated 100% to aeronautics,
while also attracting other manufacturing and service industries,
including automotive and electronics. For their expat executives and
accompanying families, foreign manufacturers appreciate Querétero’s
extensive foreign community and wealth of international schools and
cultural centers.
