Mexico was signatory of the millenium goals, promoted by the United Nations and several countries to reduce poverty and suffering among the world's population.

The scheduled date to meet most of the millennium goals is 2015, and Mexico has already met some of them, is on track to reach some of those goals and is also falling behind on a couple of them:

Goal 1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger: ON TRACK

Goal 2. Achieve universal primary education: ALREADY MET

Goal 3. Promote gender equality and empower women: ON TRACK

Goal 4. Reduce child mortality: ALREADY MET

Goal 5. Improve maternal health: FALLING BEHIND

Goal 6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases: ON TRACK

Goal 7. Ensure environmental sustainability: ON TRACK

Goal 8. Develop a global partnership for development: FALLING BEHIND

According to Rob Cochran, from the International Journal of Humanities an Peace (Jan 1, 2006): It is true there is a lot of poverty in Mexico, but one thing I've noticed is that even the poorest of people have a place to live, food to eat, and usually, some kind of way to earn a few pesos; whether it's washing windows, selling gum or bracelets, braiding hair, or playing music.
