2023 Benchmark Report: Living Income Report (with Living Wage Annex) for Chiapas, Mexico
Abstract
This report presents a study on the cost of a basic but decent standard of living in the coffeegrowing area of Jaltenango de la Paz, Chiapas (Mexico) using the Anker Methodology. The calculation is based on primary data on food prices, housing costs, health care costs and education costs collected in the study area, together with secondary data from the population census, and household expenditure and income surveys. The primary data was obtained from extensive field work in the municipalities of Angel Albino Corzo, La Concordia, Villa Corzo and Villa Flores, which concentrate the majority of the coffee farmers in the area. A second annex discusses how the study results are also representative for coffee-producing areas in four other states in central and southern Mexico
