Fuente: La Jornada

Durante 2020, cuando la crisis por la pandemia de coronavirus hundió la actividad económica a nivel mundial, México tuvo la segunda mayor reducción de la desigualdad, después de Canadá, en el ingreso de sus habitantes y regiones, reportó la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE).

La reducción en la desigualdad, medida por la brecha en el producto interno bruto (PIB) por habitante entre su población y las regiones donde se concentran los segmentos de mayores ingresos, se debió principalmente a una disminución en la renta de las personas con mejores entradas de recursos, añadió el organismo.

When César Santos was growing up in the 1960s, he spent his weekends surrounded by horses and cattle on his father’s ranch outside Monterrey, Mexico. Today, a red monolith emblazoned with the words “Hofusan Industrial Park” announces that the patch of dusty wasteland has a new purpose.

Located in a prime spot between Mexico’s industrial capital and the US border, Hofusan has become a haven for Chinese manufacturers looking to sidestep US tariffs and shorten supply chains that have been strained to a breaking point during the pandemic. The 11 plants and warehouses on the 850-hectare (2,100-acre) estate are part of the latest chapter in Chinese capitalism: The country dubbed the world’s factory now also exports white-collar managers to set up and run operations in places such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Mexico.

COMACHUÉN, Mexico — Mexico’s remittances — the money Mexican immigrants in the U.S. and other countries send home to their relatives — have soared in the past two years, and are now expected to top $50 billion for the first time once 2021′s figures are added up.
