The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) has established a socioeconomic classification based on income, education, and access to services, revealing deep inequalities among the low, middle, and high social classes. This stratification is not uniform; while urban areas concentrate opportunities, rural regions face higher levels of poverty. Social mobility remains limited for those born into disadvantaged conditions, as inadequate investment in education and the concentration of wealth hinder progress. The relevance to open data lies in the transparency that these public data require to audit the effectiveness of social policies. By making information about the socioeconomic structure accessible, citizens and researchers can identify systemic gaps and hold the government accountable. Without open and granular data, it is impossible to objectively monitor whether government initiatives succeed in reducing inequality or merely maintain the status quo. This data clarity is fundamental to promoting equal opportunities and strengthening the welfare state. The availability of detailed information enables the design of more precise interventions that address the root causes of exclusion, rather than just its symptoms. Encouraging the use of these open data facilitates an informed public debate and the creation of collaborative solutions, which are essential for transforming Mexico’s complex reality into a fairer and more developed society.
