We're entering our second year
of delivering the most accurate and up-to-date demographic estimate for
Mexico's diverse population. Our dataset not only paints a vivid
portrait of the nation's demographic landscape but places an emphasis on
multiple factors that highlight the socio-economic dynamics of Mexico.
Understanding labor force participation is pivotal to
understanding the country's workforce trends, gender participation
nuances, and regional labor disparities.
In
Mexico, the participation of females in the labor force has
traditionally been lower than that of males, a reflection of deep-rooted
cultural norms and societal expectations that often prioritize domestic
responsibilities for women. While Mexico has made significant strides
in recent years to empower women economically, the gap remains notable.
This stands in contrast to the United States, where the labor force
participation rate of women has steadily approached that of men,
particularly since the mid-20th century. Feminist movements, supportive
policies like maternity leave, and shifting societal expectations have
played crucial roles in this uptrend.
The below images show labor force participation and employment status by gender, by state.
As of July of 2023, the National Occupation and Employment Survey of
Mexico, reported a 2.9% unemployment rate on a national level. The
survey targets Economically Active persons, who are 15 years or older.
There is a slight difference in our reported unemployment rates and
their reported rates, due to the fact that we report unemployment
considering the entire working population (12+), and they do not due to
privacy reasons.
Drawing a direct comparison, while the United States has been a front-runner in
championing women's rights and their place in the workforce, Mexico's
journey is emblematic of a nation working to reconcile its rich cultural
traditions with the evolving demands of a modern economy. The
experiences of both nations underline the global imperative to create
environments where women are empowered to participate fully and equally
in the labor market. Dive into our dataset and equip yourself with the
tools to truly understand the heartbeat of Mexico's population.
