timetoroll. There is no comparison of poverty levels between Mexico and either Canada or the USA. Plus the social safety nets in Mexico do not provide much help.Big cities in Mexico do provide some help buy all along the coast with fishing villages it is another world.Poverty is when a Mother and her 2 small children live in a casa de carton. No front door just a barrel to keep the dogs out. There is no running water inside. Just a faucet outside. Dirt floor. A kitchen table with a broken leg and a plastic fisherman's plastic box for support. No food in the house. It is December and cold. The one bed has no blankets. Just a bunch of stuffed animals with the children underneath. No income. The mother has little education and no work skills. Her husband went away and never returned. She survives with some help from DIF ( social services) But it is not enough. Some neighbors help but they too are poor. I saw this my first year in Kino. We were delivering Xmas hampers. Brought on tears. This is poverty.
