It was the trigger, but the trend has persisted since then. The underlying drivers were low fertility and GDP growth.

That's just from their currency getting cheaper (google "peso to dollar" to see the decline). Gotta look at real or PPP (the two graphs I sent you) to see the true picture.

Do you have anything on recent trends with median household income. I know it was close to stagnant from 1992 to 2010. Has it gown up noticeably since then?

I don't have those numbers, but Mexico has become a bit less unequal (https://tradingeconomics.com/mexico/gini-coefficient-wb-data.html …), and per capita GDP has gone up significantly, so I assume median household income has gone up by a bit more than per capita GDP.

It is growing at average pace. In addition, Mexico has average per capita (in terms of the world )
