Inequality in US and Mexico


Here you have some stats about inequality in the US and Mexico. Here in the US have more inequality than Mexico. This could be tricky, because even when you have more inequality you have better standard of living, human development and health services.
Mexico has less inequality because most of the population is poor. Almost the 50% of the population live in poverty and 35% in extreme poverty, they live just with a dollar per day.
If you want to check more stats you can go to the International Human Development Indicator created by the UN

One of the reasons that the population turns to the drug dealing is the poverty and jobs with low paid.
