| Sumario: | Since the 1970s, population policy in Mexico aims to address demographic phenomena behavior such as migration, as well as aspects associated with them, including poverty and marginalization. Efforts have focused on addressing issues considered as core to guide population demographic behavior towards a desirable scenario. The ultimate goal is to improve living conditions and reduce the pressure posed by population growth demands. On the other hand, one of the central objectives of current public practice involves citizen participation on public policies design. There is therefore a relationship between population policy design itself and electoral participation, understood as a primary mechanism for citizen participation. Wich is expressed in various forms and intensities, according to the social and demographic population characteristics. Thus, having as its scope of study the municipalities of the state of Hidalgo, this paper explores the relationship between electoral participation and some of the main socio-demographic characteristics of the population, seeking to contribute giving elements for reflection on Mexican demographic policy. |
