AMLO's Poverty Reduction Success in Mexico

TL;DR
Mexico's poverty rate has decreased by 5.6% from 2018 to 2022, lifting 5.1 million people out of poverty. The income gap has also narrowed, and the poverty level is at its lowest point in a generation. President AMLO's social programs, along with wage increases and labor legislation, have contributed to these positive outcomes. However, access to healthcare remains a challenge, and the government's transition to a new healthcare model has faced difficulties. Despite the progress, Mexico still has a significant number of people living in poverty, and further efforts are needed to achieve the goal of zero poverty in the next decade.
