Mexico’s Development Indexes

The Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) was created by the United Nation’s Development Program (UNDP) to measure the empowerment of women in a country. It measures the inequalities in political participation and decision-making, access to professional opportunities and economic participation and decision-making, and power over economic resources based on earned income. For example, it indicates the participation of women in political and economic life and in decision-making positions such as the number of parliamentary seats and the number of professional and authoritative jobs held by women. The measure range is from .000 (lowest) to 1.000 (highest).
The first United Nations World Conference on Women was held in Mexico City in 1975; governments, civil society and United Nations bodies committed themselves to work with and for women. The year in which a woman became Presiding Officer of parliament or of one of its houses for the first time was 1994.

Gunmen steal nearly 40 cars and pickups from railroad's storage lot near Mexico City

7:25 PM EDT, October 27, 2009
TOLUCA, Mexico (AP) — Mexican authorities say a band of thieves swarmed into a railroad facility and held security guards at gunpoint while making off with three dozen new automobiles and trucks from a storage lot west of the capital.

Guadalupe Huerta, spokeswoman for the state prosecutor's office, says officials do not know why the group targeted the Kansas City Southern lot where cars await transport to the U.S. and other destinations.

She says investigators are interviewing the 17 security guards who were on watch when the robbery took place early Monday morning but do not suspect them of wrongdoing. She says the guards were held captive during the robbery.

Huerta says the 37 stolen cars and pickup trucks include Mazda and Toyota models.

Mexico Interest Groups

An interest group is an organization that tries to influence political stand through political action, providing material resources, exchanging information and or cooperation.

The Authentic Workers Front (Frente Auténtico del Trabajo or FAT) is an independent federation of labor unions, worker owned cooperatives, farm worker and community organizations.The FATis a strong supporter of union democracy. It was created in 1960 because of the nation's labor stife of 1958-59, and now represents workers in manufacturing industries almost all over the country. It usually sides with the left-wing Patry of Democratic Revolution.
The FAT were recently granted the ability to represent sevice workers in Mexico City and transportation industry workers nationwide.

The Confederation of Mexican Workers (Confederación de Trabajadores de México or CTM) is the largest and best established union in Mexico. It was created in 1936 under the rule of president Lazaro Cardenas Del Rio. Unfortunately, after the assassintation of president Alvaro Obregon, the Confederación Regional Obrera Mexicana (CROM) withdrew their support which the CTM strongly relied on because of the influence CROM had on the working class.
The CTM has now become more appealing to employers rather then workers, and is now taxted as being corrupt and conservative. This has encouraged workers to organize independent unions.
