The architecture of social well-being
Although recent multidimensional approaches have sought to expand the measurement of well-being beyond material aspects, few studies have simultaneously examined the interactions between objective, subjective, and community dimensions within a unified framework of social well-being in an urban context. This study addresses this gap by empirically analyzing how these three dimensions jointly shape household well-being in Mexico City. Data were obt…
Medición oficial multidimensional de la pobreza en México
El objetivo de este estudio es presentar una serie de alcances y limitaciones de la medición oficial de la pobreza en México, junto con sus áreas de oportunidad, con el fin de proponer modificaciones que mejoren su robustez técnica y aumenten su relevancia para el diseño, análisis y evaluación de políticas públicas. A través de un análisis crítico de sus fundamentos conceptuales y metodológicos, se argumenta que las modificaciones propuestas, esp…
Impact of health insurance on adult mortality in rural areas
Associations of the Covid-19 pandemic with social well-being indicators in Mexico
The currents study documents how the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with different well-being indicators in a LMIC. It suggests the urgent need to take actions to support vulnerable groups, particularly women, households with children and those in the lowest SES. If policy actions are not taken, the pandemic will increase social and gender disparities, and will jeopardize childhood development
Urban poverty and nutrition challenges associated with accessibility to a healthy diet
Gender, family separation, and negative emotional well‐being among recent Mexican migrants
Objective This study examined the scale and scope of family separation among Mexican immigrants in the United States and the association between family separation and immigrants' emotional health. Background Prior research documents the negative consequences of family separation on the health of immigrants. However, population‐level data on the exposure to family separation among Mexican immigrants living in the United States have been unavailabl…
Food insecurity measurement and prevalence estimates during the Covid-19 pandemic in a repeated cross-sectional survey in Mexico
Objective: To validate the telephone modality of the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (ELCSA) included in three waves of a phone survey to estimate the monthly household food insecurity prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. Design: We examined the reliability and internal validity of the ELCSA scale in three repeated waves of cross-sectional surveys with Rasch models. We estimated the monthly prevalence of food insecu…
Estudiando el bienestar durante la pandemia de Covid-19
La Encovid-19 es una encuesta telefónica de corte transversal, representativa de la población mexicana. Su objetivo es proporcionar un diagnóstico científicamente robusto sobre los cambios en el bienestar de los hogares durante la pandemia de Covid-19. En este artículo se detalla su diseño metodológico y conceptual, y se presentan los principales resultados de sus primeros cinco levantamientos. La Encovid-19 no sólo permite documentar la profunda…
Costing of actions to safeguard vulnerable Mexican households with young children from the consequences of Covid-19 social distancing measures
COVID-19 has imposed unprecedented challenges to society. As the pandemic evolves, the social distancing measures that have been globally enforced, while essential, are having undesirable socioeconomic side effects particularly among vulnerable populations. In Mexico, families who depend upon informal employment face increased threats to their wellbeing, and households who in addition have young children may face long-term consequences. The Mexic…
How do context variables affect food insecurity in Mexico? Implications for policy and governance
Objective: To assess, from a systems perspective, how climate vulnerability and socio-economic and political differences at the municipal and state levels explain food insecurity in Mexico. Design: Using a cross-sectional design with official secondary data, we estimated three-level multinomial hierarchical linear models. Setting: The study setting is Mexico’s states and municipalities in 2014. Participants: Heads of households in a representativ…
A systematic review of costing studies for implementing and scaling-up breastfeeding interventions
Despite the well-established evidence that breastfeeding improves maternal and child health outcomes, global rates of exclusive breastfeeding remain low. Cost estimates can inform stakeholders about the financial resources needed to scale up interventions to ultimately improve breastfeeding outcomes in low-, middle- and high-income countries. To inform the development of comprehensive costing frameworks, this systematic review aimed to (1) identi…
A longitudinal study of height gaps among Mexican children
Measuring True Income Inequality in Mexico
Recent literature on income distribution in Mexico has found evidence of underestimation in inequality. There is a growing consensus that household surveys in Mexico do not capture total household income, but there is no consensus on a methodological proposal to estimate a more‐realistic distribution. This article offers a proposal for adjusting household income, crossing information from household surveys, national accounts, economic censuses, a…
The impact of education and health heterogeneity on Generational Support Ratios
Policy makers are concerned about the socio-economic consequences of population ageing. Policies often rely on estimations of support ratios based solely on the population age structure. We estimate Generational Support Ratios (GSRs) considering health heterogeneity of the population age 60+ and education heterogeneity of their offspring. We explore the effect of a public policy that changes the education of a targeted sub-group of women when the…
Return Migration to Mexico
We use data from three rounds of the Mexican Family Life Survey to examine whether migrants in the United States returning to Mexico in the period 2005–2012 have worse health than those remaining in the United States. Despite extensive interest by demographers in health-related selection, this has been a neglected area of study in the literature on U.S.-Mexico migration, and the few results to date have been contradictory and inconclusive. Using …

Education, Elderly Health, and Differential Population Aging in South Korea
Population aging proceeds with other socioeconomic developments, including educational expansion. Improvements in educational attainment lead to changes in demographic behaviors such as assortative mating, fertility, and the intergenerational transmission
Links Between Socio-Economic Circumstances and Changes in Smoking Behavior in the Mexican Population
Migrant networks and pathways to child obesity in Mexico
Investments, Time Preferences, and Public Transfers Paid to Women
The literature suggests men and women may have different preferences. This paper exploits a social experiment in which women in treatment households were given a large public cash transfer (PROGRESA). In an effort to disentangle the effect of additional income in the household from the effect of changing the distribution of income within the household, the impact of PROGRESA income on savings and investments decisions is compared with all other i…
Schooling Inequality and Language Barriers
This article estimates the impact of language barriers on school achievement and the potential ameliorating role of bilingual education. Using large household data sets from poor rural communities in Mexico, we find that parental language (failure to speak Spanish) represents an important barrier to the schooling of indigenous children. We provide an empirical test suggesting that this largely reflects parental human capital related to culture/la…
Education in a crisis
Who's In and Who's Out
Social exclusion is closely linked with many economic problems in Latin America, as it prevents people from reaching their full productive potential -in turn constraining growth and revenues- and makes them more likely to incur public health and social service costs. Who's In and Who's Out explores various forms of social exclusion, including residential segregation in Bolivian cities, exclusion from health care in Brazil, barriers to legal statu…
