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.

14. II. Poverty and children’s social rights
between 2008 and 2010 in Mexico.
• 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.
