Overview

• INEGI’s new ENIGH-based multidimensional measure shows 13.4 million fewer people in poverty between 2018 and 2024, marking the lowest rate since 1985.
• The agency published these estimates after inheriting Coneval’s mandate under constitutional reform and disclosed its ENIGH-based methodology.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum credited historic minimum-wage increases, expanded social programs and public and private investment for the sharp decline.
• INEGI data reveal worsening access to healthcare and widespread social-security shortfalls that analysts warn could undermine the gains without stronger public-service delivery.
• Indigenous-language speakers remain disproportionately affected, with 66.3 percent (5.3 million people) living in multidimensional poverty.
