Social inequality in Mexico City prevails because 80 percent of its population does not have well-being conditions and only one million 900 thousand people have a decent income and without social deficiencies, reported Paulina Gutiérrez Jiménez, responsible for Articulation and Innovation of Citizen Action Against Poverty.
The Sun of Mexico interviewed the member of that organization, who prepared a Social scale, with data from National Council for Evaluation of Social Development Policy (Coneval), which indicated that the country’s capital occupies seventh place among eight entities whose residents live in well-being conditions. This measurement, which its authors described as an x-ray, puts Baja California Sur, Baja California, Nuevo León, Chihuahua, Coahuila and Colima above Mexico City.

He recalled that the capital has nine and a half million inhabitants, of them one million 900 thousand have a decent income and They live without lack. He stated that this is inequality and it is unfair that 80 out of every 100 residents of the capital live like this.
