i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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. i-icon 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.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :2021

By 2025, the Mexican State has decent work programs to address labor market needs, including institutional strengthening, job training, formalization, women's economic participation, protection of rights, social mobility and labor justice.

More than 5,000 women increased their access to opportunities in entrepreneurship, job creation and education, being part of the Second Chance Education Program (SCE), implemented in the states of Jalisco, State of Mexico and Puebla. The program is implemented in collaboration with the BHP Billiton Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, CEMEX, and three civil society organizations: ProMéxico, ProSociedad and Servicio de Promoción Integral Comunitario Juvenil (SEPICJ). SCE aims to complement their education with entrepreneurship skills through a network of 15 learning centers and an educationaloffer of 67 courses, 18 of them offered online. Since 2019, a total of 5,033 women enrolled in Second Chance, a number that surpasses the target of enrollment (5,000) and that helped exceeding its goals on learning centers (12) and number of courses (5). By 2021 4,369 participants women are supported by the program and 3,098 women have graduated from SCE. SCE in Mexico promotes the creation of support and mentoring networks between the participants and has generated 55 networks and 386 women participate in the Program as mentors for new participants and supporting other women within the program. These results have been fostered by the alliances with state governments that helped establish 15 learning centers. 1,317 SCE participants have access to broader range of employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, through the partnerships with the state governments of Jalisco (Ministry of Substantive Equality between Women and Men), State of Mexico (Ministry of Women, and Puebla (Ministry of Labor); the municipal governments of Zapopan, Lerma and Huixquilucan; and private sector partners: HP, Intel and Megacable. Second Chance is also supporting capacity building on gender equality and economic empowerment: in responsible parties (40 representatives) and UN Women teams in 6 countries, who benefitted from training on new masculinities and gender divide. The Simone de Beauvoir Leadership Institute provided training on gender equality and care to 33 representatives from SCE responsible parties and 37 government officials. In a workshop of SCE and Moving Forward Equality, 40 people from private sector partners, responsible parties, SCE participants, the Regional Director for Latin America and Caribbean and the Country Representative, exchanged experiences on women's economic empowerment. The government of the state of Jalisco, through its Secretary for Gender Equality, collaborated with UN Women by establishing a Learning Center within its Meeting and Attention Center, in benefit of 261 women; it also provided access to the contents from the SCE platforms as part of its women's empowerment program, Fuerza Mujeres, in benefit of 2,936 women. The government of the state of Mexico signed a Memorandum of Understanding with UN Women, leading to the official launch of one Learning Center for the Second Chance Education Program, which has benefited 39 women in its two-month running. The municipal governments of Tehuacan and Zinacatepec continue providing spaces to set up learning spaces. The municipal governments of Huixquilucan and Lerma have also provided spaces, as well as in this year, 2 events were carried out to showcase the results of the Program. The municipal government of Zapopan continues its collaboration providing spaces and personnel, through three Municipal Academies, and it is exploring the expansion of the Program to new spaces. The communication campaign of the program was launched and evaluated during 2021. The partnership with private sector is strengthened continuously: by 2021, 136 companies were among the Women´s empowerment Principles (WEP) Signatories on the WEP website (www.weps.org/companies). The Country Office has strengthened its collaboration with business chambers and associations to provide webinars for the private sector, such as the Global Compact, Abogadas MX (a civil society organization for female lawyers), the Mexican Association of the Information Technology Industry, and the Business Coordinating Council.
