How is Mexico's Population changing?

The 2010 census indicates that since 1960 Mexico's population has more than tripled to 112.3 million. However, the growth rate between 2000 and 2010 (1.4% per year) is less than half the 3.4% rate of increase experienced in the 1960s. If Mexico's population had continued to grow at 3.4% since 1960, it would have been over 186 million by now!
