KUMATE RODRIGUEZ, Jesús. Social marginalization of Mexican children. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2010, vol.67, n.5, pp.458-470. ISSN 1665-1146.

Social exclusion is changing over time. It is multicausal and virtually imposible to eradicate. Children are the most vulnerable population suffering from this deficit. The future of families, the community and the nation are evaluated by the growth and development of their children. Social exclusion among children covers several areas including education, nutrition, health, housing, etc. In our country there are marked differences among different federal entities. The indigenous Mexican status is associated with persistant marginalization. Changes are necessary to reduce social exclusion of Mexican children.
