Overview

• The IMSS pilot enrolled 1.29 million drivers and couriers in July, fueling a net gain of 1.27 million formal jobs—the largest monthly increase on record.
• Total IMSS-affiliated positions climbed to 23.59 million by end of July, overcoming a three-month decline that erased 139,444 formal roles.
• All registered platform workers receive immediate accident coverage, and those earning at least the minimum wage gain full benefits and subordinated employee status.
• Transport and communications led sectoral growth with a 71% annual jump in formal jobs driven by the formalization of app-based labor.
• Authorities continue to monitor the six-month pilot’s compliance and interim metrics as they prepare permanent regulations for digital platform workers.
