| Abstract | This paper identifies four different rural household profiles in Mexico, taking into account assets, income level, and other aspects related to vulnerability. The classification was done using cluster analysis and a sustainable livelihood approach. Our findings show that households diversify the ways they earn a living as one subsistence strategy to deal with the challenges of limited access to markets and physical infrastructure and weather-related damage from hurricanes and droughts. Likewise, rural Mexico is very heterogeneous across regions. This spurs reflection about the pressing need to design the right public policies to address the problems facing each household profile. |
