In Mexico, there is uneven progress between the different states. While in some, the levels of social development, economic growth and security have improved in recent years, in others, these levels appear to be declining.
According to the document titled “Measuring well-being in the Mexican states”, prepared by the Organization for Economic Growth and Development (OECD), progress in Mexico is occurring unevenly. Next we are going to analyze some of the variables analyzed in this study and what the situation is regarding it in different Mexican states.
Security of the Mexican states
In the country, insecurity is one of the main existing problems. Security includes the perception of insecurity, the crime incidence rate, trust in the police and the homicide rate. The Mexican states with the highest degree of security are Yucatán, Aguascalientes, Baja California Sur, Querétaro and Nayarit. On the opposite side are Morelos, Chihuahua, Distrito Federal, Guerrero and the State of Mexico.
Income
Although the minimum wage is 70.10 pesos per day, in some states this is not the case. The places in Mexico with the highest income, according to the OECD, are: Nueva León, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Distrito Federal and Sonora. On the other side of the scale are: Chiapas, Puebla, Oaxaca, Guerreros and Veracruz.
Accessibility to services in Mexican states
Access to services, in terms of well-being, implies the possibility of any person to have medical services, have broadband for Internet use and access to home services such as electricity, gas and water. The Mexican states that guarantee the greatest accessibility to services are Nuevo León, Colima, Distrito Federal, Sonora and Aguascalientes. On the other hand, on the opposite side are Michoacán, Veracruz, Chiapas, Guerrero and Oaxaca.
Health
Another indicator that is analyzed is health. To measure it, the infant mortality rate, the maternal mortality rate, life expectancy at birth, self-reported health and the obesity rate are used. The Mexican states with the most inhabitants in Mexico are: Nuevo León, Sinaloa, Jalisco, Aguascalientes and Querétaro. On the opposite side we will find Veracruz, Campeche, Tabasco, Guerrero and Oaxaca.
