Mexico has one of the youngest nation in the world with 35 percent of population under the age of 18. Although in recent years, Mexico’s economy has been expanding (in 2011 the annual growth rate was 4%, and in 2014, 2.1%), one of the major challenges it faces is great difference in income, especially between urban and rural regions, which affects children access to education. In poorer parts of Mexico, children drop out from school to work.
