A working definition and specific assessment guidelines lead the analysis to give a comprehensive assessment. Following the working definition, Mexico seems to be stuck in the middle-income trap. The findings show that the structural reforms undertaken by the Mexican government are moving towards the correct direction to boost growth and overcome the trap. Nonetheless, according to the literature recommendations, the Government seems to take a modest approach to tackle the trap. Proactive government participation is needed to upgrade the economic structure and promote a stronger collaboration between actors for a successful structural change.]]></p></abstract>

Una definición laboral y pautas específicas de evaluación conducen el análisis para brindar una evaluación integral. Siguiendo la definición laboral, México parece estar atrapado en la trampa de los ingresos medios. Los hallazgos muestran que las reformas estructurales emprendidas por el gobierno mexicano están avanzando en la dirección correcta para impulsar el crecimiento y superar la trampa. No obstante, de acuerdo con las recomendaciones delineadas a través de la literatura, el gobierno parece adoptar un enfoque modesto para abordar la trampa. Se necesita la participación proactiva del gobierno para mejorar la estructura económica y promover una fuerte colaboración entre los actores para lograr con éxito un cambio estructural.]]></p></abstract>
