Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to study rural poverty in Mexico using a fuzzy set approach. Results show that almost 25% of the rural households in Mexico are in a state of structural poverty. We also show the gap that prevails between the north and the south as well as the differences, in terms of multidimensional poverty, that exist between households that receive US remittances and those that do not. Our results can contribute to a better focalization of the public policies aimed to the reduction of poverty in rural Mexico.
