	Mexico: Income Generation and Social Protection for the Poor The study argues that even though its 2002 to 2004 poverty-reduction trends are encouraging – particularly as far as rural poverty is concerned – Mexico still faces challenges such as reducing urban poverty, which has fallen into a rut of sorts, as well as the challenge of making its social protection system less regressive and more equitable so as to provide coverage for more of its poor.
	Poverty in Mexico : An Assessment of Conditions, Trends and Government Strategy  Between 1996 and 2002, Mexico made progress in its poverty reduction efforts, particularly on extreme poverty, but poverty remains a basic challenge for the country's development. In 2002, half of the population lived in poverty and one fifth in extreme poverty, and the current level of poverty is only slightly lower than the levels existing before the 1994-1995 crisis, a new World Bank report says.
	Lessons from NAFTA - The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has spurred economic development in Mexico, but is not enough to achieve economic convergence with Canada and the United States even in the long run without investment in innovation, infrastructure and adequate institutions, a new World Bank study says.
	Development Strategy for the Mexican Southern States - Without effective development policies that improve living conditions in this region, it will continue to lag behind. If the development process excludes an entire region, Mexico's long-term growth potential will be restricted.
