MEXICO: Social progress stagnates
Local think-tank México, ¿Cómo Vamos? (MCV) released its fourth social progress index (IPS) study on 16 November. Using GDP figures and data from the national statistics institute (Inegi), the IPS measures how much social progress was made between 2015 and 2021 in Mexico as a whole and in each of its 32 states. The report found that social progress in general had stagnated across Mexico since 2015, with some states regressing on key indicators.
