The population of Argentina was reckoned in 36.1 million inhabitants in the 2001. Of these, a 50% concentrates on the province of Buenos Aires and in the Federal Capital. The population growth rate in 2008 was estimated to be 40.5million. The Argentina population has the lowest growth rate in all Latin America, about 1% per year, likewise, it has the smallest infant mortality rate. The median age is approximately 29 years and a life expectancy of 75 years at birth.
This pyramide represents the argentinan population and as you can see it has an extensive base due to the great number of births and it tightened gradually by the cumulative and growing mortality to the extent that enlarges the age of the population.
Argentina is a unstable country, its economy vary constantly each 6 years, each time that Argentina suffers economic crisis such as it ocurred in 2001 led people to leave the country, to migrate from the rural zones to big cities looking for new opportunities and to rethink about having children. Once the crisis is over, people start to invest again and come back from abroad, however, people from the rural zones do not return to the farms. Likewise, international firms take advantages from this peak and they set up temporarily while it lasts the prosperity. All this reasons lead that the pyramide expands in determined periods or it shrinks when all it seems to indicate going into recess.
All these imbalance led to increase the poverty and the differences between the high class and low class is huge, meanwhile the middle class is disappering.

One of the reasons why I migrated to Canada is due to this lack of estability. These repeated economic depressions led me to think seriouly not only to leave Argentina but also having my own family. I wish Argentina will be able to bring security and estability to its citizens but this will be take long time. People deserve the best because Argentina is a rich country, it should not suffer these crisis but unfortunately it happends.

One of the best things about this job is that I get to learn so much about other parts of the world. But how will Argentina's population problems affect you, do you think? Do you have anything personal to add?
