In 2018, 43 percent of Mexico's population lived in multidimensional poverty. By 2024, that figure had fallen to 29.6 percent—a drop of 13.4 million people, the largest reduction on record. The gains show up in concrete terms: 85.6 percent of Mexicans now have reliable access to nutritious food, up from 78 percent in 2016. Over 92 percent report adequate housing quality. And the upper secondary school dropout rate fell from 14.5 percent to 8.7 percent in five years.
