The working conditions of Mexicans are worsening
In Mexico there are about 45 million workers. This population corresponds to the occupied population of the country.
Mexican workers are distributed as follows: 73.2% wage earners, 19.6% self-employed, 3.2% are employers, and 2.8% work without pay.
The labor sectors that absorb the most labor are transport, communications, professional, financial, social and government services. Among all these areas of work, 43.8% of the country's labor force is concentrated.
18.33% are engaged in trade and 16.7% work in mining, manufacturing, electricity or water.
In terms of social security, six out of 10 workers have some work benefits. 85% of wage earners have health services, 94% receive bonuses and 83.2% have paid vacations.
Mexican workers receive one of the lowest wages among the 34 countries that make up the OECD. In addition, within the same organization, Mexican workers are the ones who work the most hours per day and those who have fewer days off.
In Mexico, the informal market accounts for 60% of the country's workers.
In short, our country has an economy increasingly focused on services and where the majority of its workers have the benefits established by the constitution. However, taking into account that more than half of the people who work are outside the formal market, there are a significant number of workers who lack their labor rights such as health insurance, pension, real estate credit, vacations, etc. This preference for informality on the part of the workers is due, in part, to the poor salaries and long working hours offered by the labor market.
