MND Perspectives: What does a higher minimum wage mean for Mexico?

What is the current situation regarding wages in Mexico and what are the ramifications of the recent doubling of the minimum wage?  Our new podcast on Mexico’s minimum wage has the details.

Mexico News Daily brings you to the stories on the economic challenges facing Mexico’s low-paid workers and examines the future of Mexico as a source of cheap labor.  We’ll delve into the complexities of this issue, examining the political, social, and economic factors at play, and discuss what the future might hold for workers in Mexico. Will these incremental changes lead to lasting economic shifts, or is the country stuck in a cycle of low-wage labor?
