2020 Benchmark Report: Living Wage Report for Michoacán, Mexico
Background
This report is the first living wage report carried out for Mexico using the Anker Methodology. It focuses on the cost of a basic but decent life for workers in the non-metropolitan urban areas and rural areas of Northwestern Michoacán. The report estimates the monthly net income a family of 4 members (2 adults and 2 children) requires, as of February 2020, to afford a basic but decent life in this part of Mexico. Preliminary analysis, included in the Annex of this study, indicates that this living wage is also applicable to 71 municipalities of the states of Michoacán, Guanajuato, Jalisco and Colima, which, together with those in the study area, constitute a well-defined economic region of Mexico.
