Data from the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (Coneval) say that around 52.4 million Mexicans are poor.
Poverty is greater in the southeast of the Chile Mobile Number List country, affecting indigenous peoples, older adults and people with disabilities; as well as children and adolescents.
The state that reported the lowest percentage of people in poverty in 2018 was Nuevo León, with 14.5%, while the poorest was Chiapas, with 76.4% of its inhabitants.
Mexico City registered 2.7 million poor people, which represents 30.6% of the capital's population.
According to the Espinosa Yglesia Studies Center (CCEY), in its study of Social Mobility in Mexico City 2019, at the national level 7 out of every 10 Mexicans who are born poor do not manage to overcome that condition throughout their lives.

In the southern part of the country, 86% of the population who were born in poor homes remain in this situation throughout their lives.
According to the study mentioned above, someone who is born in a very poor home in CDMX has 4 times more chances of escaping poverty than someone who is born in the same situation in the south of the country.
«People's origin affects their mobility options», the ability to climb the economic pyramid. Although CDMX has a lower level of inequality of opportunities, it does not manage to reach the levels offered by the northern and northern western regions .
According to CEEY's analysis, the national average of inequality of opportunities is 48%, for CDMX it is 41%.
Tomas Martin Damerau, executive director of Labor Studies of the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion of CDMX, says that although the informality rate in Mexico City (48.5%) is lower compared to the national rate (56.5% ), 1 in 3 capital residents cannot afford to buy the basic basket despite working.
In addition, it points out that the economic disparity exists between the city's mayors because the regions of Milpa Alta (49%) and Xochimilco (40%) are the ones with the highest poverty rate, unlike areas such as Benito. Juárez or Miguel Hidalgo.
"To address this problem there are different impulses from the city government such as housing and urban development policies, as well as the location of marginal neighborhoods to focus these efforts ."
So that citizens can get involved in training spaces to escape vulnerability, the executive director highlighted programs such as: PILLARS (Points of Innovation, Freedom, Art, Education and Knowledge).
For Coneval, there is another type of vulnerability: by income or that Mexican who has access to all rights but has one income less than the Wellbeing Line, which puts him at risk of poverty.
Who is not poor in Mexico or vulnerable to becoming poor soon? Mexicans who do not have any social deprivation, but also have a monthly income that is above the Welfare Line.
That is why in Mexico poverty does not depend on a single government entity, but on the State; since the work of the three levels of government and different state agencies is required to ensure that Mexicans have a higher income from the Welfare Line, but also guarantee their access to fundamental rights.
Only with social education, health or food programs, for example, can Mexicans eliminate their shortcomings but they need a better income to effectively leave poverty.
Some others may have a good income, but without access to social security, equality or basic services, they are not safe from poverty either.
