REVOLLO-FERNANDEZ, Daniel A.; RODRIGUEZ-TAPIA, Lilia e MORALES-NOVELO, Jorge A.. Impact of Water Subsidies on Poor Homes in Mexico City. Gest. polít. pública [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.1, pp.39-67. ISSN 1405-1079. https://doi.org/10.29265/gypp.v28i1.542.
In the present study an analysis of incidence of the subsidy on household water for households in Mexico City is made. For this purpose the transfer recipients are identified using the survey consumer habits, Service and Water Quality Home in Mexico City 2011, supported by the Census of Population and Housing 2010 and the National Survey of Income and Expenditure Survey 2010, 2012, 2014. Through an analysis of incidence of subsidies, and the calculation of both performance indicator terms of focus and concentration ratio, the results indicate that the subsidy is not concentrated in the poorest sectors. Taken together 20 per cent of households with higher incomes receive around 45 per cent of the subsidy, while 20 per cent of households with lower incomes concentrated just under 12 per cent of them (regressive subsidy), revealing the inequity in distribution and focus them difficult to households who need them most. These results make clear the need to look over this policy of subsidies, not only locally, with the challenge that the process will not affect the most vulnerable and thus get to improve the welfare of the whole society.
