Clustering of food poverty among Mexican children: A spatial analysis

Eduardo Luis Lechuga-Rodriguez

Children and Youth Services Review, 2022, vol. 138, issue C

Abstract: The aim of this study is to find out in which Mexican localities clusters of food poverty have formed in children, a problem that must be urgently addressed to improve the future of those individuals who suffer from it. This phenomenon has irreversible physical and cognitive repercussions. The idea that socio-economic conditions can be improved through the reduction of hunger is supported, and the tool to favour children is the implementation of targeted programmes in specific areas where this phenomenon has formed clusters and therefore requires more attention.
