ZAMUDIO-SANCHEZ, Francisco José; SORIANO-MONTERO, Margarito  e  IBARRA-CONTRERAS, Pedro. Analysis on the evolution of human development in the Yucatan peninsula. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.40, pp.543-596. ISSN 2448-6183.

Human development in Mexico offers a gap between the north and south, the Yucatan Peninsula adds to the differentiation. There are marked differences in the development options of the three states that compose it, if income or services are taken as factors for a decent life. Yucatan falls behind Quintana Roo as a leader while Campeche is closer to the latter. Low incomes in Yucatan determine its lag. High income in Campeche does not correspond to its development. Despite hurricanes, Quintana Roo shows substantial progress in development, explicable by tourism. Yucatan is more equitable in gender and Campeche most inequitable in development. Campeche has the lowest quality, below the national average.
