Mexican Poverty: The core socioeconomic catalysts across the 21st Century

Abstract

Throughout the first quarter of the 21st Century, Mexico has had to continue its long-lasting battle against multiple socioeconomic issues, among which poverty occupies a prominent place. Much has been done to ease living conditions for the Mexican citizens; yet, the question has always remained the same. Why is it that poverty continues to trigger such severe statistics for these affected families after almost 4 different federal administrations and a continuous political spotlight on the issue?
