ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

National Commission on Population

Okay, imagine you're playing with a bunch of different toys and games, and there are a lot of other kids around you doing the same thing. Now, it's important for grown-ups to know how many kids there are and how many toys and games there are so that they can make sure everyone has enough to play with and that everybody stays healthy and safe.

That's kind of what the National Commission on Population does - they're like the grown-ups who look after how many people there are in the country and how many resources there are to help them stay healthy and safe.

They study and analyze information like how many people are born and how long people live, so that they can plan for things like how many schools and hospitals the country needs, and how many jobs and houses are needed for people when they grow up. They also try to help families make decisions about how many children they want to have and how to take care of them.

So, think of the National Commission on Population like the grown-ups who help make sure everybody in the country has what they need to be happy and healthy, kind of like your parents help make sure you have enough food and toys to play with.
