Abstract: This report estimates a living income and living wage for rural areas and small towns in the state of Nayarit (Mexico) for 2022 with a focus on tobacco-growing municipalities. About 48% of the population in these municipalities live in rural areas. This percentage is similar in the rest of the Nayarit municipalities (46%), with the exception of Tepic and Bahía de Banderas, where the population is mainly urban. The poverty rates in the study municipalities are in general higher than the average for Nayarit as a whole and closer to the average for Mexico. The living income and living wage were estimated using the Anker and Anker (2017) Methodology and data from both primary and secondary sources. Local food prices and housing costs were collected through a price survey in the six study municipalities in places where workers shop and live. The costs of goods and services other than food and housing were inferred from secondary data sources representative for the rural and urban areas of Nayarit. The main secondary data sources for this study are the National Income and Expenditure Survey, the National Occupation and Employment Survey, and the Population and Housing Census. The living income for a typical size reference family in the study area in 2022 was MXN 17,535 (USD 857) per month and the living wage for full-time workers in the area was MXN 12,410 (USD 607), which consists of a take-home pay of MXN 10,500 (USD 513) and MXN 1,910 (USD 93) in income and social security taxes.
