Mexico: More of ENIGH 2008

In a previous note we commented some of the results of the ENIGH 2008. Now we present what Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la Política de Desarrollo Social (CONEVAL) published on the indicators of social protection with calculations of the ENIGH 2008. The statement noted that since 1992 the affiliation of the population in the formal social security institutions (IMSS, ISSSTE) has not increased. However, the good news is that the calculations made by the CONEVAL showed a reduction of 23.9 percent among persons of 65 years or older who do not receive pension and comprise the 20 percent or the country´s poorest population (1992 to 2008).
