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.

The close collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to carry out the Gender Equality Forum, in Mexico City generated seven key partnerships to promote gender equality: Strategic partnership between the Ford Foundation, the Equality Fund and the Government of Canada; Women Moving Millions; Feminist path; Group of Friends of Gender Equality; Global Alliance of Care and the Global Acceleration Plan. This international meeting registered more than 13,000 participants from all over the world, 48% of whom were 34 years old or younger. Of all these results and partnerships, the Country Office gives a close follow up to the Global Alliance of Care announced on 31 March and launched in Paris on 2 July 2021. The Alliance counts with 52 members who includes institutions and organizations implementing the Action Coalition in the care economy: governments, international institutions, civil society organizations, private sector, philanthropic organizations, academia, youth and feminist movements. Ministers, deputy ministers and representatives from 21 countries, within the framework of the Generation Equality Forum established a Group of Friends for Gender Equality, an initiative presented by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, within the framework of the 75th General Assembly of the United Nations. This Group promotes coordinated action in multilateral forums to accelerate gender equality and promote the human rights of women and girls, through the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action and other international commitments. The Country Office supports Mexico to encourage its international cooperation actors to join efforts to improve coordination on gender equality and women's human rights. The International Cooperation Gender Roundtable (ICGR), currently chaired by the Embassy of Switzerland for the period of 2021-2022, has put a strong focus on women human rights defenders and journalists. The Country Office work at the ICGR has resulted in the increase of members by adding Uruguay, Chile and Italy throughout the last year. Likewise, an event was held with legislators and the Embassy of Spain called "The time of women" which had two international parliamentarians and 30 elected national legislators to exchange experiences and good practices to strengthen their capacities as legislators in the new parity government and the 18 Embassies engaged with the 25th of November actions that UN Women organizes to eradicate violence against women. UN Women Country Office provides continuous support to the Mexican government to have a comprehensive perspective and strategy to leave no one behind in the process of development, particularly women in vulnerability. UNW Mexico contributed with inputs to the UNW Regional Office to strengthen the process of developing a General Recommendation on indigenous women and girls by the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) Committee of Experts. The Country Office also gave workshops on local mechanisms for the advancement of women and municipal authorities regarding the Mandate and work of the CEDAW Committee, its functioning and its observations to the Mexican State. Knowledge products and knowledge sharing through trainings and workshops organized by the Country Office, give more information that facilitates substantive progress towards achieving the goals and commitments of the Beijing Platform for Action, CEDAW, SCR 1325 and other global regulatory and political frameworks that promote the reduction of poverty, inequalities and substantive equality between men and women. With the efforts made jointly with the Mexican government, the Generation Equality Forum (GEF) gave insights and new partnerships that are working as mechanisms that give more tools and discussion spaces to empower women in Mexico, the region, and the world. To support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) at national level, the Country Office continues generating strategic alliances to disseminate and adapt training courses, such as "I know Gender", and courses on sexual harassment and harassment to the national context, so that key audiences, such as officials of the federal public administration and of some states, as well as the Community of the Faculty of Medicine of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (more than 70,000), can increase their knowledge to create strategies and actions in their institutions with gender perspective. UN Women facilitated the participation and support the Civil Society Advisory Group (CSAG) of Mexico in the Generation Equality Forum. The dialogues were intersectional, intergenerational and Mexican Civil Society and youth, as well of indigenous women had an important role. The CSAG coordinated a national consultation with women. UNW also facilitated the participation and support of the CSAG of Mexico in the GEF Paris. In the framework of the GEF Executive Director’s visit to Mexico, a special meeting was organized with the CSAG regarding violence against women and how to tackle the different challenges of new normality in Mexico after COVID19.Disclaimer and notes
