of Mexico, with poverty disproportionately affecting rural regions and
indigenous communities. Widespread corruption undermines economic

from drug cartels and organized crime hinders both citizens and
businesses, impeding economic progress. Despite efforts to enhance
education, quality schooling remains elusive, particularly in
marginalized areas. Moreover, a substantial portion of the workforce

Indigenous communities. Housing affordability has become a
pressing issue, notably in cities like Vancouver and Toronto, where
soaring prices make homeownership unattainable for many. Climate
change poses threats to infrastructure, ecosystems, and vulnerable
populations, necessitating a transition to a more sustainable

claims, resource access, and socioeconomic disparities. Labor
market dynamics reveal underemployment, precarious work, and
wage disparities, particularly affecting marginalized groups like
immigrants and Indigenous peoples.

implementation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement
(USMCA) provides a framework for modernizing trade relations and
addressing contemporary challenges such as digital trade and
environmental protection.
