Report: social security in Mexico, 2023

The report on social security in Mexico highlights a series of significant advancements and setbacks. Economically, there is an increase in income, driven by remittances and a growth in the economically active population. The reduction in poverty is attributed, among other factors, to the rise in income and average salary, as well as demographic changes. The SCJN reaffirms the right to retirement pension and is-sues criteria on social security, paving the way for the expansion of medical coverage. National and international regulatory reforms, such as the telecommuting standard and the ratification of ILO conventions, emphasize improvements in labor and family rights protection. Noteworthy are the national reforms -with a gender perspective and ben-efiting families- reflecting the vision of family social law. However, the reduction in healthcare coverage represents a setback in quality of life. These changes reflect com-prehensive progress, although unfortunately, the right to health experiences a setback.
