Mexico currently spends about 2.2 percent of GDP on social safety nets (or social assistance). There are around 8,000 social protection programs at the federal, state, and municipal levels.7 These programs cover 22.9 million Mexicans in the year 2020 (equivalent to 16 million households or 44.5 percent of total). Those in need are largely identified from the social census and SISI. The one-year cost of increased households assistance is estimated at 1.2 percent of GDP.
