Government at a Glance 2015 www.oecd.org/gov/govataglance.htm Country Fact Sheet Mexico Female participation in the public sector is increasing The share of women in the public sector in Mexico increased by more than 2 p.p between 2009 and 2013. Women made up about 48.6% of public sector employment in 2013, which is still below the OECD average (58.0%). The share of women parliamentarians has more than doubled compared to the early 2000s, moving from 16.0% in 2002 to 38.0% in 2015, partly due to the introduction of a gender quota in Parliament. This is above the OECD average (27.8%). The share of women ministers remains, however, low in 2015 (17.6%) and despite a considerable increase compared to a decade ago, it remains far from parity and below OECD averages (29.3%). Chapter 3: Public employment and compensation Share of public sector employment filled by women and men Share of women parliamentarians and legislated gender quotas Share of women ministers Mexico is making important investments in digital government and Open Government Data With 120 public sector ICT projects worth over USD 10 million each in 2014, Mexico reported the highest number of large-scale ICT projects across the OECD. This suggests that good governance on these large and complex ICT projects is key in Mexico. The proactive release of Open Government Data (OGD) is also helping to transform public services. In 2014, Mexico performs above the OECD average on the OURdata Index which looks at the level of availability, accessibility and government support for the re-use of public data.

According to these same perception-based surveys, there are also persisting security issues across the country.

Structural fiscal balance, or underlying balance, represents the fiscal balance adjusted for the state of the economic cycle (as measured by the output gap which resulted as the difference between actual and potential GDP) and one-off fiscal operations. Government gross debt is reported according to the SNA definition, which differs from the definition applied under the Maastricht Treaty. It is defined as all liabilities that require payment or payments of interest or principal by the debtor to the creditor at a date or dates in the future. All debt instruments are liabilities, but some liabilities such as shares, equity and financial derivatives are not debt. Government at a Glance 2015 With a focus on public administration, OECD Government at a Glance 2015 provides readers with a dashboard of key indicators assembled with the goal of contributing to the analysis and international comparison of public sector performance across OECD countries. Indicators on public finances and employment are provided alongside composite indexes summarising aspects of public management policies, and indicators on services to citizens in health care, education, and justice. Government at a Glance 2015 also includes indicators on key governance and public management issues, such as regulatory management, budgeting practices and procedures, public sector integrity, public procurement and core government results in terms of trust in institutions, income redistribution and efficiency and cost-effectiveness of governments. The Excel spreadsheets used to create the tables and figures in Government at a Glance 2015 are available via the StatLinks provided throughout the publication: http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/gov_glance-2015-en For more information on the data (including full methodology and figure notes) and to consult all other Country Fact Sheets: www.oecd.org/gov/govataglance.htm
