The human development index of households and individuals 2009 reported that between 2000 and 2008 decreased the income of the population by 2.1 percent. This is the indicator that has led to greater inequality among Mexicans, maintains the gap between those with more economic resources and those with less, said Magdy Martinez, representative in Mexico of the United Nations Organization (UNO).
While social policies have been successful and have padded the gap between rich and poor, the economy, employment and income gaps have remained, which did not abate in the decade studied. Labor market failure, no decent income rises, but health and education prevent social polarization.
As the political debate on poverty that has occurred in recent weeks, considered it good to have this discussion on the subject, may be needed more rigor, to talk over real numbers.
explained that the education and health coverage had increased, and human development in general had a 2.2 percent advance in the country. Health is the dimension more equal in this decade, grew 7 percent in the poorest and education increased 12 percent.
human development at home was up 2.2 percent, but between 2006 and 2008 there was a fall of 0.2 percent, despite growth rates of education and health. "The drop in revenues led to the human development index to a" marginal reduction '. "
The document details that 30 percent of households with income less concentrated to 37 percent of individuals, while 30 percent of who have higher income includes only 23 percent.
The drop in income is due in part to economic crisis, the increase in food prices, but also because the country's economy has grown substantially over the past 20 years, said for his part Gonzalo Hernández Licona, Executive Secretary of the National Policy Evaluation Social Development (Coneval).
The agency yesterday presented results in terms of coverage of health services, education, quality housing and basic services-four of the eight indicators that are considered in measuring multidimensional poverty, which is assessed based on the results Census of Population and Housing 2010, and in which there was an increase in rates, although Hernández Licona admitted that the challenge is to raise quality.
The population with low educational until 2010 was 19.4 percent, in 2000 was 22.5, and in 1990 of 26.6. The states with the largest backlog currently are Chiapas, with 32 percent, Oaxaca, 29.9, and Michoacan, 28.5.
Regarding access to health services in 2010, 33.2 percent of Mexicans did not have them 10 years before the deficit reached 58.8 percent, but still there was the Seguro Popular. The states are further behind Puebla (50.4 percent of its population), Guerrero (46.1 percent) and Michoacan (44.3 percent).
People deficient in quality and living space was 17 percent in 2010, a decade earlier had implications for 28.4 percent, while in 1990 affected 41.5 percent. Guerrero is the most backward: 41.8 percent, followed by Chiapas, 37.1, and Oaxaca, 35.4.
Access to basic services also reduced the lag, since last year while 19.3 percent of Mexicans lacked them, in 2000 the percentage was 32.3, and in 1990, 44.3. For states, Guerrero is the most backward: 50.3 percent, followed by Oaxaca, 48 percent, and Chiapas with 39.8.
Hernández Licona said that in July will be announced updated figures on poverty and access to food, the census does not report this information, so you have to wait for the results from the National Survey of Household Income Expenditure. Concluded that there is progress on the indicators presented, but the income, purchasing power and access to food have declined.
