Abstract

Globally, the recent global economic crisis has led to poverty, economic stagnation, unemployment and financial crisis. For the countries of Latin America, it also has meant an increase in problems associated with underdevelopment and structural dependence such as poverty, social inequality, insecurity and decline in human development. In Mexico, the economic downturn has resulted in a severe decline in social welfare indicators translated into increased poverty, social inequality and insecurity translated into unprecedented violence. Given the complex economic and social landscape in Mexico requires a decision of the national state intervention through the establishment of an effective state policy against poverty, social inequality and fall of human development.
