Poor and neglected people outside of cities and in rural areas 2 Mexico's $2.2 trillion economy has become increasingly oriented toward manufacturing since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force in 1994. Per capita income is roughly one-third that of the US; income distribution remains high Mexico has become the US' second-largest export market and third-largest source of imports. In 2015, two -way trade in goods and services exceeded $592 billion. Mexico has free trade agreements with 46 countries, putting more than 90% of without trade barriers 3 Mexico has the second-largest economy in Latin America and is a major oil producer and exporter. Though production has fallen in the last few years, about one-third of government revenue still comes from the industry. Much of the crude is bought by the US. But prosperity remains a dream for many Mexicans, and the socio-economic gap remains wide. Rural areas are often neglected and huge shanty towns ring the cities. In recent decades many poor Mexicans have sought to cross the 3,000-km border with the US in search of a job. At one point more than a million were being arrested every year, but since 2007 there appears to have been a dramatic fall in numbers, mainly attributed to changing demographics in Mexico itself Mexico Literacy Rate _________________________________________________ Population ___________________________________________________ GDP ________________________________________________________ GDP/Capita __________________________________________________ Cars / 1,000 people ____________________________________________ What type of Government does Mexico have? ______Democratic___________________________ Evidence _____________Competitive elections_____________________________________ What type of economy _______________Market_____________________________________ Evidence ______________90 % Free Trade__________________________________________ Summary: __________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Supporting detail 1 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Supporting detail 2 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Supporting Detail 3 __________________________________________________________________________________________________
