According to such definition, 47% of the population lives below the poverty line. However, these statistics are a bit misleading. The nature of poverty varies among countries, and Mexico is no exception. 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. In the states, with all its wealth and social programs, if you don't make enough money, if you're mentally ill, if you're disabled, or even if you just have bad credit, you are likely one paycheck away from living on the streets...
