IBARRA LOPEZ, Ignacio. Households with children in Mexico: The role of income, age and wage inequality. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.3, pp.535-567. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v34i3.1762.

Data from the National Survey of Household Income and Expenditure in Mexico for different years (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014) are used to know the effect of income and age on conformation of households with children in Mexico. One of our findings is that it is preferred to generate traditional households to another type of household. Another worrying regularity is that there is a strong link between income inequality and the establishment of a traditional household.
