Overview

• An Oxfam México–INDESIG analysis of ENIGH 2024 reports that the richest 1% receive 35% of national income, while the poorest 10% receive 2%.
• The study finds the top 1% earn 442 times more than the bottom decile, with average monthly incomes of 958,777 pesos versus 2,168 pesos per person.
• Between 2018 and 2024, incomes for both the poorest decile and the top 1% rose about 29%, resulting in similar percentage gains but vastly larger absolute increases at the top.
• Household spending patterns diverge sharply, with the poorest decile spending roughly one peso for every six spent by the richest and allocating more to basic needs like food and housing.
• Coparmex recognizes significant poverty reduction but highlights persistent gaps in social rights, citing 48.2% without social security and 34.2% without health coverage, and calls for employment, productivity, and service-quality improvements.
