The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) said January 23 that Mexico could reduce levels of food poverty (extreme) by 18 percent if all population had access to primary education. Is a significant figure given that Mexico has a population about 107 million people, according to official estimates.
food poverty in Mexico, which brings together those whose income is not sufficient to purchase a basic basket of food, affects 13.2 percent of the population. Poverty of capacities, which is 20.7 percent of citizens, including people that although they have resources to meet their nutritional needs, lack the necessary investment in health and education. The asset poverty, which affects 42.6 percent of Mexicans, it refers to those with food, education and health, but can not acquire the minimum acceptable levels of housing, clothing, footwear and transportation for each household member.
Nationally, 18.8 percent of the rural population and 8.9 percent of the city without any education, according to figures from the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (INEGI) in 2005, the most recent.
ECLAC's research shows consistent evidence that basic education in Mexico is an important mechanism to help individuals out of poverty so extreme as moderate. However, the increase in the quality of education in the country would lead to a more effective in fighting poverty.
