Día del Abuelo: En Veracruz, 400 mil adultos mayores viven en pobreza extrema

Veracruz is undergoing a significant demographic shift, with its population aged 60 and older growing steadily. This data reveals a clear gender disparity in longevity, as women consistently outnumber men in older age groups, highlighting distinct social dynamics that call for tailored policy responses. However, this aging population faces severe economic challenges. A substantial proportion of these individuals live in extreme poverty, with Veracruz ranking second nationally in this regard. These statistics underscore urgent social vulnerabilities that current welfare measures must address to ensure adequate support for the elderly. This article is relevant to open data because it demonstrates how publicly available statistics from INEGI and CONEVAL drive evidence-based decision-making. By making census and poverty assessment data transparent, governments and researchers can analyze trends, identify vulnerable groups, and design effective social programs grounded in factual, accessible information.
