Mexico poverty reduction will require policy overhaul
Keyword(s):
Significance The report shows that the number of poor increased to 55.7 million in 2020 -- around 43.9% of Mexico’s population, up from 41.9% in 2018. The findings give a sense of the socioeconomic damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and of the challenges facing the government as it pursues recovery. Impacts Despite CONEVAL’s findings, the government will continue to focus its programmes on the rural poor, the young, and the elderly. Working-age people (many of whom lost their jobs during the pandemic) face a continued lack of support. The deterioration of the business environment will hinder the recovery of formal employment, and the social security benefits it provides.
