Reducing inequalities and bolstering growth in Mexico
Continuing the recent fall in income inequality and poverty will necessitate stepping
up efforts to both address pressing social issues and bolster economic growth. Redoubling
efforts to improve education outcomes would help Mexicans gaining the skills needed
to participate in an evolving job market and boost Mexico’s growth potential. Mexico
has much to gain from closing gender participation gaps, as it would lead to stronger
growth overall and to a more equitable distribution of income and opportunities. Reducing
informality would not only ensure greater job security and social protection for workers
but also stimulate economic growth.
