dc.description.abstract	In 2002, half of Mexico's population lived in poverty and one fifth in extreme poverty, slightly lower than before the 1994-1995 crisis. Mexico has made major progress in some poverty dimensions -health, nutrition and education outcomes, access to basic health and education services, electricity, water and (to a lesser extent) sanitation. Large increases in government spending enabled key social programs to expand. Programs also became more pro-poor, with new demand-side measures using cash transfers as incentives for poor households to send their children to school and attend health clinics.	en
