Inequality in Mexico has decreased during this six-year term, says economist. Three aspects contributed to this reduction: higher labor income, better performance of small businesses and reduced rent payments.

The last time the figure fell in a similar way was in the 1950s during the time of the Mexican miracle, according to data from the World Inequality Database. Despite this, inequality could have decreased even more if more effective social policies had been more effective, says Alejandro Gómez.
