Finding
In its first VNR report, submitted in 2016, Mexico presented information on territorial-based gaps (between regions and federated states) without providing more detail. As part of Mexico’s second report, submitted in 2018, it included an analysis of inequality gaps associated with each Goal in a much more straightforward way. It refers, for example, to a “salary gap of 5.1 per cent between women and men” and highlights that the ten richest Mexicans have the same wealth as the poorest 50 per cent. As a result, the second VNR Report looks more robust than the previous one, demonstrating progress made by the country in identifying and measuring gaps.
