The Mexican State has an obligation to ensure access to social development for the population as a whole. Poverty is the plainest and most unacceptable form of social deprivation persisting in Mexico. Even though progress has been achieved, the remaining challenges in terms of overcoming poverty make it necessary to reinforce social policies and programs in order to consolidate these achievements. On the one hand, each administration plans and carries out programs and actions so that the population can be less poor and obtain more benefits. On the other hand, The Mexican National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL, for its initials in Spanish) adopted a multidimensional poverty measurement and publishes poverty indexes every year. Description of this methodology can be found in https://www.coneval.org.mx/
This work attempts to find a possible relationship between the government programs and the poverty indexes through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for the State of Guanajuato, Mexico from 2010 to 2015. An exploratory SEM was developed; we obtained initial results that enable a better understanding of the phenomenon.
