The National Institute of Statistics and Geography confirms that Mexico reached in 2024 the lowest historical level of inequality in income distribution since 1984. This achievement is primarily attributed to the combined impact of social transfer programs and the recovery of labor wages, which have generated significant growth in the incomes of the most vulnerable households, narrowing the gap between the lowest and highest economic classes. Despite this overall improvement, important structural challenges persist, such as gender gaps that economically favor men and marked regional disparities among federal entities. The distribution of household resources continues to show a critical dependence on paid work and remittances, with rising health expenditures that reflect tensions in the consumption capacity of Mexican families, even as the federal government celebrates these metrics as a success of its welfare model. This information is fundamental to the open data movement, as it demonstrates how the transparent publication of official statistics enables independent analysis of public policies and their real social impact. The availability of detailed data, such as those from the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH), facilitates citizen auditing, fosters accountability, and empowers researchers and organizations to validate or challenge political narratives about economic development, ensuring that transparency generates verifiable knowledge beyond government announcements.
