The CONEVAL releases the results of the poverty measurement at municipal level for the year 2010. For the first time the poverty measurement at municipal level is presented for the 2,456 municipalities in Mexico based on the economic and social dimensions set forth by the General Law of Social Development (LGDS): income, educational gap, access to health services, access to social security, quality and spaces of the dwelling, access to basic services in the dwelling, access to food and degree of social cohesion.
According to the General Law of Social Development (LGDS), the CONEVAL should measure poverty statewide every two years and poverty at municipal level every five years and to do so must use information generated by the National Statistics and Geography Institute (INEGI). By presenting the municipal poverty measurement poverty is given compliance as set forth in the LGDS.
Estimates of poverty at municipal level 2010 are presented, along with those that were published in July 2011 at the national level and for the federal entities, form an integrated diagnosis of some of the main problems of social development of the country.
Having estimates of poverty at municipal level contributes to strengthening accountability in the country and to improve the planning of social development policy.
