Mexico is one of the leading countries in terms of economic development in Latin America, however, the average salary of its workers is similar to that of the poorest nations in the region, according to data from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). In addition to this negative indicator in the country, there is also the rate of labor informality, which is one of the highest in the region. According to David Kaplan, labor market specialist at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), “the Mexican labor market is an atypical case in the region and not in a good way. We did an analysis of 17 Latin American countries in 2018, and Mexico was the fourth richest country in terms of GDP per capita, but in other labor indicators, in particular average salary, there are eight countries poorer than Mexico and they have higher average salaries , and six countries poorer than Mexico with a lower rate of informality.
For this reason, there are two urgent measures to prevent Mexican workers from continuing to work under negative salary conditions: that the federal government approve an increase of 30 pesos to the minimum wage, and stop illegal outsourcing practices that include new company inspection measures; specialists agreed during a dialogue Argentina Mobile Number List organized by the Decent Work Observatory. On the other hand, Rogelio Gómez Hermosillo, coordinator of the group Frente a la Pobreza, affirms that the world of work in Mexico is one of the worst in the region due to low salaries, lack of social security, absence of formal contracts and the capacity for collective bargaining. For this reason, Gómez states, it is important that the goal be the increase in the minimum wage immediately, without waiting for a salary recovery of the percentage adjustment at the end of the year, which serves as a reference for all salary adjustments and contractual negotiations. From 2010 to 2014, poverty decreased from 31.1 to 28.2% of the region's inhabitants. However, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) anticipates that in 2015 it would have increased to affect 29.2% of Latin Americans.
The minimum wage in Mexico is the lowest in Latin America, in fact it is below countries such as Haiti, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic, among many more. Previously, Mexico averaged the standings, taking into account the Human Development Index of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), in the “Minimum wage deficit” analysis that reflects the best minimum wages in Latin America. Mexico ranks second in inequality: OECD Mexico is the second country with the greatest inequality among OECD member countries . This organization says that it is the country in which redistribution makes the least difference. “More than half of the country's population lives below the poverty line, while four of the world's wealthiest billionaires are also Mexican.” Redistribution makes little difference, but with this it becomes one of the least unequal countries to one of the most unequal, since taxes and social security have little effect, compared to other countries. It is assumed that Mexico poverty increased by two million people between 2012 and 2014 , going from 53.3 million (45%) to 55.3 million people (46.2%) and, at the same time, extreme poverty was reduced, revealed the National Council Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL).
