Mexico federal social program participation

Overview

Mexico’s federal social programs have seen significant expansion in both beneficiary numbers and investment. Data from the Secretariat of Wellbeing indicates high female participation, with over 10 million women active in programs such as the Pension for Women’s Wellbeing and various educational scholarships, including the Beca Rita Cetina program which supports over 7 million girls.

By late October, the Ministry of Welfare reported that total beneficiaries reached 42.8 million, an increase of 10.7 million compared to 2025. Secretary Leticia Ramírez Amaya testified that total investment in these initiatives is expected to exceed one trillion pesos by the end of 2026. Major expenditures include the Pension for the Well-being of Older Adults, which serves nearly 14 million people, and the ‘Salud Casa por Casa’ program, which has facilitated 27 million home medical visits.
