[Vital statistics: mechanisms of improvement]
Abstract:
Within the realm of basic statistics, information on vital facts represents a main tool for the study of the movement and dynamics of a population. Despite their importance, vital statistics in developing countries have had a limited development due to financial, cultural, geographical and coordination factors among the different institutions involved in recording vital statistics. Since 1982, Mexico has experienced a radical change in its system of vital statistics, which remained almost untouched for close to a century. Now (1988), the Mexican system of vital statistics has a completely modified and updated structure. This new structure permits interinstitutional actions which are necessary in order to achieve the consolidation of the system of vital statistics in Mexico.
