Remesas concentradas: más dinero, pero a menos hogares
INEGI data reveal that while total remittances to Mexico increased, the percentage of households receiving them declined. This shift indicates that fewer families depend on this income source, despite higher aggregate inflows. The decline underscores changing migration dynamics and economic vulnerabilities. With fewer beneficiaries, greater pressure is placed on those left behind, weakening the protective social safety net previously provided by these funds. This trend has implications for open data, as it demonstrates how aggregated financial metrics can obscure distributional inequalities. Researchers must analyze household-level data to accurately assess social welfare and the effectiveness of public policies.
