The Societal Poverty Line is expressed in purchasing power adjusted 2017 U.S. dollars and defined as max($2.15, $1.15 + 0.5*Median). This means that when the national median is sufficiently low, the Societal Poverty line is equivalent to the extreme poverty line, $2.15. For countries with a sufficiently high national median, the Societal Poverty Line grows as countries’ median income grows.;World Bank, Poverty and Inequality Platform.

The global Multidimensional Poverty Index provides the only comprehensive measure available for non-income poverty, which has become a critical underpinning of the SDGs. The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures multidimensional poverty in over 100 developing countries, using internationally comparable datasets and is updated annually. The measure captures the acute deprivations that each person faces at the same time using information from 10 indicators, which are grouped into three equally weighted dimensions: health, education, and living standards. Critically, the MPI comprises variables that are already reported under the Demographic Health Surveys (DHS), the Multi-Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and in some cases, national surveys.

The subnational multidimensional poverty data from the data tables are published by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), University of Oxford. For the details of the global MPI methodology, please see the latest Methodological Notes found here.

ABSTRACT In the 1980s, Latin America experienced economic crises, with structural adjustment programs and rising unemployment, which accentuated poverty and social inequalities. Subsequently, several countries adopted Conditional Cash Transfer Programs, in a scenario of emphasis on social policies in the fight against poverty. In Mexico and in Brazil, programs were preceded by other income transfer initiatives for the poor, initiated respectively in the 1980s and 1990s. The objective of the study was to analyze the programs Bolsa Família in Brazil (created in 2004) and Oportunidades in Mexico (created in 2002). The analysis reference was based on the historical-comparative perspective and literature review, documental analysis, analysis of secondary data analysis and semi-structured interviews were used as research techniques. Differences were observed between the programs in terms of objectives, design and conditionalities, including health. Despite some positive effects on income, health and education indicators, such programs are limited for the fight against poverty.

Between 2010 and 2023, Mexico's data on the degree of inequality in income distribution based on the Gini coefficient decreased compared to the previous period, at 45.4. The Gini coefficient measures the deviation of the distribution of income (or consumption) among individuals or households in a given country from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality, whereas 100 would be the highest possible degree of inequality. Poverty still one of the major problems During the last four years, the minimum wage in Mexico has been increasing substantially, going from 141.7 to 248.93 Mexican pesos per day. The main reason for this was to pull people out of poverty. In 2014, the population under the poverty line was over 46 percent, that is almost half of Mexicans living with conditions of vulnerability. Eight years later, the rate was about 36 percent, still a significant number of people living in poverty but a considerable decrease. Gender inequality Mexico does not score particularly well in gender inequality, in fact, it ranks 33rd in the world in the Global Gender Gap Index. Despite some advances, the Aztec country performs poorly in most of the metrics that measure inequality. During late 2022, women recorded a pay disparity of –13.15 percent when compared to them male counterparts. That is to say, that for the same job a woman is paid 87.85 MXP when a man receives 100 MXP.

Chiapas, the state with the highest share of population living in poverty, had the highest wealth inequality in the country based on the Gini coefficient as well. This index measures the deviation of the income distribution situation in a given country from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents an ideal situation of equality, whereas 1 would be the highest possible degree of inequality. As of 2022, Mexico City, the country's capital, had a Gini coefficient of 0.46, second highest recorded figure.

The Poverty and Food Security Case Studies dataset consists of small area estimates of poverty, inequality, food security and related measures for subnational administrative units in Mexico, Ecuador, Kenya, Malawi, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Vietnam. These data come from country level cases studies that examine poverty and food security from a spatial analysis perspective. The data products include shapefiles (vector data) and tabular datasets (csv format). Additionally, a data catalog (xls format) containing detailed information and documentation is provided. This dataset is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) and the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT). The dataset was originally produced by CIAT, International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), International Water Management Institute (IWMI), and International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA). (Suggested Usage: To provide high spatial resolution subnational estimates of poverty and food security for use by a wide community for interdisciplinary studies of poverty, food security and the environment.)
