Poverty in Mexico

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Poverty in Mexico is characterized as the lack of access of its citizens to basic human needs such as nutrition, clean water, and shelter; it extends to the overall infrastructure of its society to include education, health care, social security, quality and basic services in the household, income and social cohesion as defined by social development laws in the country. The government currently uses a multidimensional system to measure the poverty threshold in the country: extreme poverty, moderate poverty, and overall poverty.
