Two researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico published separate analysis on 3 October 2026 covering regional demographic and political trends.

Isalia Nava Bolaños, researcher at UNAM's Institute of Economic Research, stated Mexico will complete demographic aging in under 40 years. This transition took other nations up to 200 years. Nava Bolaños added Mexico will have an aged national population by 2070.[^2][^3]

Regina Crespo, researcher at UNAM's Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, stated Lula is fundamental to prevent the far-right from taking control of Brazil.[^1]
