How are things going in Mexico? A perspective from our CEO

How are things going in Mexico? That's a complex question, and determining the answer often revolves around economic indicators like GDP growth, inflation rates, productivity, and investment levels. While these figures are readily available and published frequently, they don't paint the full picture. The team behind Mexico News Daily is striving to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the nation's well-being.

To achieve this, they've developed a series of monthly indexes, the MND Sheinbaum Index, the MND Mexico Economic Index, and the MND Peso Index. These indexes aim to go beyond raw data to offer a deeper insight into the country's state. However, the creators realized early on that these economic-focused indexes didn't account for other vital aspects of life in Mexico.

With this in mind, they've launched a new series called the MND Mexico Well-being Series. This series will delve into non-economic indicators, measuring the country's progress over the past decade and comparing Mexico's standing to global peers. Topics covered include health and healthcare, education, poverty, happiness, and gender equality.

The series is designed to be unbiased and fact-based, aiming to educate and inform readers about Mexico's overall well-being. While these data-driven insights are valuable, the team acknowledges the significant role of cultural factors in shaping the true well-being of people in Mexico. They're working on additional articles to explore this cultural dimension.

The first report, "Health and healthcare," has already been published. Subsequent reports will cover education, poverty, happiness, and gender equality, followed by a cultural piece. This series hopes to inform, educate, and inspire readers, encouraging them to share the reports with colleagues, friends, and family.
