Mexico's Poverty Numbers: A Closer Look at Morena's Claims

Mexico's Poverty Rate: A 10.1% Reduction? A recent video infographic published by Partido Morena claims an 11 million person decrease in poverty in Mexico between 2018 and 2024, citing World Bank figures showing a 10.1% reduction. While the World Bank does track poverty data for Mexico, independent verification of Morena's claims is necessary. The infographic's visual presentation is clear and easily understood, showing a decline in the percentage of the population living on less than 8.3 dollars a day. However, the video's partisan source necessitates a critical examination of the data. Further investigation into the methodology and potential limitations of the World Bank data, as well as alternative analyses, is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of Mexico's poverty situation. A balanced report should include perspectives from independent economists and organizations to provide a more complete picture.
