Resumen
Any measurement of poverty must specify a threshold and what this represents. Is it possible to avoid arbitrariness in the determination of these thresholds? Or are they totally subjective and depend on the observer’s values, prejudices and preferences? Or is poverty a real condition that causes suffering and exclusion from full participation in social life? This article argues that the meaning of adequate satisfaction of human needs is determined by social norms reflecting what society considers the minimum wellbeing to which all members should access. It proposes a methodology to identify these norms and emphasizes the process of their social structuring.

Resumen
After discussing the concepts of hunger, undernutrition, food insecurity and food poverty, we propose a methodology to measure food poverty which integrates two innovations which were developed separately: 1) construction and cost estimate of the Normative Food Basket (NFB) for the concrete composition of each household in Mexico City, carried out by Evalúa DF; 2) The comparison between the cost of the NFB and households’ food expenditure, instead of comparing it with income, as usually done. This integration allows a rigorous diagnosis of the food condition in Mexico City. Lastly, results of applying both innovations are contrasted with the results derived from comparing the costs of INEGI-CEPAL’s NFB and CONEVAL’s Minimum Welfare Line with households’ income.

Resumen
In the measurement of poverty, the role of wages in the formation of household income has not been taken into account explicitly. The minimum wage arises in capitalist economies as a guarantee of a minimum level of well-being. The minimum wage established in the Mexican Constitution is linked to the satisfaction of basic needs, could well serve as threshold for poverty measurement. This article uses as income threshold for multidimensional poverty measurement the equivalent of the minimum constitutional wage. A new method for measuring multidimensional poverty is developed here: The Socio-Economic Well-being Method (SWM). Its procedures and results are contrasted with the LPMM and CONEVAL’s method. The SWM identifies a very similar proportion of poor people as the LPMM. It highlights CONEVAL’s underestimation of poverty as well as the key role that the definition of thresholds and the procedures to combine dimensions play in measuring poverty.

Resumen
This paper performs an evaluation of the redistributive effect achieved through the tax-benefit system in Mexico, including the tax burden and conditional cash transfers for the poor and households in 2014. We answer the following question: What will the impact of the Mexican tax-benefit system be for the poor as well as its households? i.e, of pro-poor type? We conceive this analysis with an approach where the World Bank agrees, the pro-poor approach. In order to recognize if taxes and benefits can really compensate the poor and induce a reduction on relative and absolute poverty, we proceed with this novel measurement. Pre-fiscal income is built by comparing the tax burden and the distribution of benefits applied in both databases, the Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares –enigh– and data from Método Integrado de la Medición de la Pobreza –MMIP–. According to the equivalence scale of CONEVAL as well as that from the mmip with their corresponding poverty lines, we proceed to develop a core set of recommendations for improving the tax system and its effect on the poor.

Resumen
In Mexico, crime has increased and diversified over the last 20 years, but we have few theoretical, empirically verified, explanations. Here I explore a way of explaining violent crime in municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants, taking intentional homicide in 2011 as the observable variable. I start from explanations of crime based on poverty and inequality. To this end, I problematize this type of explanations and run regression models testing the hypotheses of poverty or inequality as the explanatory variable. At the end I discuss the results obtained and propose a new research design that overcomes the limitations of the one carried out and the dilemma posed in the title.

Resumen
In this article I discuss both conceptually and empirically the existence of a social norm about what is considered necessary in the field of food, and I analyze the capacity of households in Mexico City to access it. To this end, I revise the arguments that highlight the importance of food not only as a good that satisfies biological needs but also psychological and social ones, and I present some of the most relevant aspects of the theoretical debates on necessity and deprivation. The empirical analysis is based on the epasb 2009. The document concludes with some considerations on the possible social and moral implications that deprivation of goods considered necessary could have on people’s life experience.

Resumen
Given the profound changes in the world of work and the increasing restrictions manifested by conditional transfer programs to overcome the intergenerational transmission of poverty, a new analytical approach to take charge of the contradictions and structural limitations of the human capital theory, but above all the recognition of a new human right, is proposed: the Universal Citizen Income (UCI) and a set of fiscal and social policies that make it viable adopting a strategy of progressiveness.It is sustained that the establishment in Mexico of the uci constitutes a lever of social transformation that would not only overcome income poverty definitively and improve income distribution substantially, but the UCI also has a powerful component of emancipation for expanding freedoms and the construction of the autonomy and independence of people
