GUTIERREZ RODRIGUEZ, Roberto. The limits of Mexico's social policy during the sexenium of Peña Nieto. Economía UNAM [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.39, pp.26-62. ISSN 1665-952X.

Has had the Peña administration's Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) a defined position regarding the economic and social policy instruments that may have allowed the economy to grow at an average annual rate close to its potential rate, estimated up to 4.5%? Has the institution had enough room of maneuver to make this happen without more seriously affecting the conditions of inequality and maldistribution of income that people face? The economic policy documents that defined most of Peña's administration curse from 2011 onwards, for which writing was directly involved the team that leads such a Secretariat, show at least three limitations that have been present and will remain so up to the end of the sexenium: the subordination of economic growth to rising productivity; the lack of a labor policy, and the absolute declination, in 2015, of a universal social security policy (SSU), coupled with a serious effort to promote the recuperation of the minimum wage and then internal consumption.
