TREJO NIETO, Alejandra. Economic Growth and Industrialization on the 2030 Agenda: Prospects for Mexico. Prob. Des [online]. 2017, vol.48, n.188, pp.83-112. ISSN 0301-7036.

In 2015, the United Nations approved a new international development agenda, known as the 2030 Agenda, consisting of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets. The agenda asserts the need for targeted actions to bolster sustainable economic growth, decent employment, and industrialization in all countries. This international strategic framework is of particular relevance to Mexico in light of its low-growth context, as well as its relative abandonment of active industrialization policies, for more than three decades now. This document provides a retrospective view of growth and industrialization in Mexico, and identifies challenges and obstacles in the current national context when it comes to achieving the targets set forth in Goals 8 and 9 on the 2030 Agenda.

Keywords : Economic growth; industrialization; 2030 Agenda; prospective studies; economic indicators.
