Just like the United States, Canada or Europe, Mexico is composed of several ethnic groups and is considered to be a multicultural country. The southern state of Chiapas would be an example of this due to it having a very particular culture: out of a population of 4.8 million, almost 1.5 million is people from Mixe, Mayan and Chiapa Amerindian ethnic groups; also the Mayan language is common and many cultural traditions are preserved. This also carries some disadvantages, as one of the issues inherited from colonial times is the profound economic underdevelopment and lack of education found in the region: while Mexico's GDP per capita is around US$15340 (2011), Chiapas has a GDP per capita of only US$6046, putting the region on par to countries like Swaziland or Egypt in Africa; average number of years of schooling in Chiapas is 6.7, which is the beginning of middle school, compared to Mexico's average of 8.6; illiteracy is also rampant with 18% compared with the 7.2% of the Mexican average.
