Age Distribution of Parents of Registered Births in Mexico (1985-2024)

This dataset documents the age distribution of parents in Mexico at the time of birth from 1985 through 2024. Compiled from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), it contains over 100 million registered births and provides a unique resource for studying demographic trends at national and state levels.Dataset DetailsThe dataset includes detailed annual records with the following columns:<code>REGISTRATION_YEAR</code> – Year when the birth was registered<code>BIRTH_YEAR</code> – Year of birth<code>REGISTRATION_STATE</code> – Numeric ID of the state where the birth was registered<code>RESIDENCE_STATE</code> – Numeric ID of the mother’s state of residence<code>MOTHER_AGE</code> – Age of the mother at the time of birth<code>FATHER_AGE</code> – Age of the father at the time of birth<code>COUNT</code> – Number of records for each combination of the above variablesIncluded FilesDataset: Complete archive of births (1985–2024) with the fields listed above, sourced from INEGI microdata.Python Script: A configurable Python script where you can specify a year and choose between national or state-level data. It then generates a heatmap that displays all the records for the selected parameters, making it easy to spot patterns in parental age distribution.Sample Figure: Example heatmap illustrating the age distribution of parents in Mexico for 2024.Requirements.txt: Python dependencies needed to run the script.This dataset is useful for researchers, demographers, public health professionals, policy analysts, and data enthusiasts interested in long-term patterns in parental ages at birth or regional differences within Mexico. It can support academic research, policy evaluation, visualization projects, and educational uses.Sourcehttps://www.inegi.org.mx/programas/natalidad/#microdatos
