Aumento al salario mínimo, Pensión del Bienestar y otros programas sociales de AMLO bajaron la desigualdad en México y alcanza su nivel histórico más bajo en 2024: Inegi

Mexico recorded its lowest income inequality levels since 1984, a significant shift attributed to robust social transfers and wage growth that disproportionately benefited poorer households. This reduction in the Gini coefficient highlights a structural change where the lowest-income deciles saw their earnings rise at a much faster rate than those of the wealthiest, effectively narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor over the past several years. Despite this progress, deep disparities remain, particularly along regional and gender lines. While social programs have driven substantial income growth for vulnerable populations, significant gaps persist between wealthier northern states and impoverished southern regions, as well as between male and female earners. These persistent inequalities indicate that while the distribution of income has improved, access to resources and economic security is still unevenly distributed across different demographics and geographies. This report is crucial for open data advocates because it demonstrates how high-quality, publicly accessible statistical indicators can serve as objective benchmarks for evaluating public policy effectiveness. By transparently tracking metrics like the Gini coefficient and household income sources, open data enables civil society and researchers to independently verify government claims, assess the real-world impact of social programs, and hold institutions accountable for reducing structural inequalities.
