At the beginning of the Twenty-First Century, approximately half of
the Mexican population suffers from poverty, according to official
estimates. This book argues that the traditional governmental
approach to poverty is misleading regarding its definition and the
necessary policy actions to overcome it. It challenges the
governmental approach, by applying for the first time concerning
the Mexican case a conception of poverty as relative deprivation
using the sociological notion of citizenship as an indicator to
define 'normal' standards of living, and taking it as a benchmark
to measure poverty. The book describes poverty by social class,
family status, education, gender and age; exposing particular
social divisions in Mexican society and its causes. It analyses the
failure of anti-poverty policies in Mexico, and proposes guidelines
for alternative policy making. This book should be especially
useful to academics, students and policy makers looking for more
answers on the problem; as well as, for the general public looking
forward to participating on an informed discussion about poverty.
