How many people are in poverty in MEXICO??

Question

I need a reliable and credible source (website, books, journal articles) to find information about Poverty in Mexico... I need to how many people in Mexico are in poverty, and maybe see why they are. Thanks

Answer 1

I would say about 60% of people in Mexico live in poverty and Mexico is in poverty becuase of the government.

Answer 2

See map and article below.  Bad as thse figures are, there are countries with much higher figures.  The underlying cause of poverty is lack of EDUCATION.  Where only 3 years of school is mandated, and even that is not enforced, poverty abounds.  EDUCATION liberates people.  I am an American living in Mexico and teaching children that the educational system completly fails.  There are many other factors too, of course, but the one great difference between the very rich and the very poor  is ... education.  Many Mexicans recognize this and are fighting to change this...but it is a very sharply uphill battle.

Answer 3

is around 60 % but extreme poverty is around  13 % now.

Poverty is some one that only bearly satify his basic needs,

extreme poverty is some one that dont even eat well.

HERE is something about Monterrey city:

Answer 5

A lot!

Answer 6

Mexico has done a fairly good job to reduce the poverty.  The world bank has estimated that poverty was reduced to 17% of the population in 2004.  Better than in 1994 when the poverty was at 50%.
