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 Conference resulted in the Buenos Aires Commitment , towards a Care Society in LAC. UNRISD, INMUJERES, UN Women, sponsored by IDRC, designed a digital platform to compile and share data, research and good practice to support decision-makers in the implementation of care policies and systems. The Alliance has also supported UN Women’s studies on “ Financing Comprehensive Care Systems. Proposals for Latin America and the Caribbea n” (2022) and “ Methodology for estimating the costs and economic impacts of the implementation of care services in Latin America and the Caribbean ” (2022). The GAC engaged in the XXIII International Meeting on Gender Statistics, " Care at the center of development: Opportunities and statistical challenges ,” 5-7 October 2022, in Aguascalientes, Mexico with an interactive dialogue on progress and challenges to produce and use data and statistics on care work. The GAC promoted the creation of two communities of analysis (CoA). The first focused on public policies and care practices. Building on the innovative experiences at national level –Argentina, Spain, Mexico, Panama and Peru– and subnational level –Iztapalapa and San Pedro Garza García in Mexico—, related to the principle of co-responsibility and the creation of comprehensive care systems, financing care systems , engaging the private sector . A second CoA promoted policy dialogues and learning workshops to delve into the right to care .

UN Women CO brings normative support by providing technical assistance and the production of knowledge products for evidence-based decision making, such as the methodology to estimate the costs and returns of investment in care services. The methodology was developed in coordination with the Regional Office, which was a key decision to allow its replication in other LAC countries (e.g., Dominican Republic). The strategy was complemented with operational activities, including a pilot of care service for children aged 4 to 8 in Iztapalapa, a municipality of Mexico City, that resulted in an improvement of children’s development and 94% of women using the service having time for paid work.

The members belong to 10 different states of the republic from the north, center and south of Mexico. Another of the objectives with the renewal of this new group was to incorporate youth and new thematic areas such as the work with LGBTIQ+ groups, women and the environment, and women with disabilities.
