as recession-stricken families pushed kids to work,
Mexico's economy suffered more than any other in Latin America last year,
shrinking an estimated 7% due to a plunge in U.S. demand for Mexican exports such as cars.
"The decline led to a 4% increase in the number of kids who left primary or middle school in 2009,"
said Juan de Dios Castro,
"Poverty rose and that is a factor that makes our job more difficult,"
Castro told Reuters in an interview earlier this month.
Hindered by higher taxes and weak demand for its exports,
Mexico's economy is seen only partially recovering this year.
"There will be some improvement, but not significant," Castro said.
as poor families pull kids out of school to help put food on the table,
and children often sell candy and crafts in the streets or work in restaurants.
Mexico's politicians have resisted mending the country's tax, energy and labor laws for decades,
leaving its economy behind countries such as Brazil and Chile.
