World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Federal and local stakeholders strengthen their capacities to guarantee women´s social, public and political participation, based on the parity principle, to influence decision-making in all areas, supported on data and evidence.
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).
Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
National Statistics Offices drive analysis, research and innovation on gender statistics through the exchange of best practices at global, regional and national level to track progress of gender equality and women’s empowerment.
National institutions strengthen their technical capacities to produce and use gender-sensitive statistics and design, implement, monitor and evaluate gender-responsive budgets and public policies for GEWE to advance the 2030 Agenda.

More women are enhancing their ability to influence and participate in decision-making spaces with the support of responsible local institutions. During 2021, partnership with local authorities of the state of Oaxaca was strengthened to promote women from civil society organizations and public service to have more skills on political leadership and participation. This partnership also worked to create more awareness on Violence Against Women in Politics (VAWP). As a result of these efforts, the electoral institute of Oaxaca have access to cultural-sensitive information to be used in communication campaigns on prevention of violence against women in politics, thanks to a package of cultural-sensitive written and audio materials, facilitated by UN Women. The materials were available in Spanish, as well as Mixteco and Zapoteco, the two most spoken indigenous languages in the state of Oaxaca. In addition to these materials, audio spots were elaborated to be used and disseminated by the local electoral institute, to highlight the importance of women’s political leadership and to share how to prevent online violence against women in politics. The Country Office elaborated and shared with local institutions a series of recommendations to improve their response to violence against women in politics, which were based on testimonies, legal dispositions, and barriers that women face when denouncing this kind of violence. In coordination with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and through financing by the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), UN Women Country Office continued working on promoting women’s political leadership by elaborating the report “Parity Candidacies and digital political violence in Mexico: a data analysis about Gender-Based Political Violence”, which found the ways digital political violence is happening in social platforms, mainly Facebook, giving recommendations to candidates, political parties, electoral authorities, and digital platforms. Spaces for reflection and professionalization were held with the National Institute of Women (INMUJERES) as the Reflection Group to promote Gender Equality Policy and Women’s Empowerment in Mexico. These included two sessions on “Towards a National Care System” and “Economic Empowerment and Financial Inclusion of Women”; Diploma Course “Women, Land and Territory: Challenges of participation and representation of indigenous women in agrarian nuclei”, through which the capacities of 24 rural and indigenous women leaders were strengthened, especially around the participation, recognition and leadership of their agrarian rights and the defense of land and territory; a workshop on “Transfer of training capacities for women entrepreneurs with a gender perspective to strengthen the strategy for women’s autonomy and well-being” aimed at INMUJERES staff to provide information to women interested in becoming entrepreneurs. Also, UN Women accompanied the Mexican government to monitor compliance of the Observations of the CEDAW Committee and the design and implementation of the first National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security. Likewise, various knowledge products were elaborated that allowed the dissemination of information and professionalization of allies in key matters of gender equality such as the creation of the National Care System; coverage of violence and femicides; on the regulations of public policy in matters of prevention, care and punishment of sexual harassment in public space and in urban planning and infrastructure; as well as guidelines to comply with the National Policy on equality between men and women. UN Women works with the National Statistics System to produce and promote the use of statistics with a gender perspective. In 2021, the XXII International Meeting on Gender Statistics “Rebuild with gender statistics - Towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda” was held; and the 19th International meeting of specialists on time use and unpaid work. Also, UN Women continued with participation in strategic spaces such as the Specialized Technical Committee on Information with a Gender Perspective (CTEIPG) Working Group on VAW); and worked on platforms of information with strategic SDG and national indicators; and progress was made in the repository and databases. The Global Centre of Excellence on Gender Statistics (CEGS), in coordination with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Center of Excellence, in response to the mandate of the 51 Statistical Commission of the United Nations elaborated the “Statistical framework on gender-related killings of women and girls (also referred to as femicide / feminicide)” to improve data collection techniques on violence against women and to have an International Classification of Crimes for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) from a gender perspective. The document was introduced to a global consultation with health, judicial, statistical and academic institutions and submitted to the United Nations Statistical Commission at the 15th Meeting of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Gender Statistics (IAEG-GS). Based on the global methodology of Women Count, in 2020 the CEGS carried out the Rapid Gender Assessment Survey (RGAs) on the impact of COVID-19 in Mexico and in 2021, in collaboration with UN Women Americas and the Caribbean Regional Office (ACRO), integrated and presented the results of the RGAs of Chile, Colombia and Mexico. The CEGS has produced a series of knowledge products that give information so institutions can use them as evidence to design, implement, monitor, and evaluate policies and budgets with a gender perspective. During 2021, the CEGS concluded the editing and is beginning to disseminate 10 knowledge products and briefs on various digital platforms.Disclaimer and notes
