Why do we have a new method?

• It is a mandate of the Social Development Law

• The Law stablishes the main characteristics poverty measurement should comply:

– It should be defined both in the space of social rights and economic wellbeing.

– To make visible the link between social programs & the measurement of poverty, for public policy purposes.

Page 14: Measuring Poverty for children in a multidimensional way in México

• Children have higher levels of poverty than the rest of the population in Mexico.

• Between 2008 y 2010 poverty grew en Mexico, but neither poverty nor extreme poverty increased for children.

• Despite the reduction of income and food security, there was an increase of basic services for households with children between 2008 and 2010 (health services, social security, education). Multidimensional poverty thus did not change during this period for children.
