Answer 1

It has experienced economic growth and a growing middle class, but poverty continues to linger and government corruption remains.

Explanation: Mexico has expanded trade and growth (e.g., manufacturing, NAFTA/USMCA links) and a larger middle class than decades ago, but high poverty and inequality persist and corruption and organized-crime-related violence remain major challenges.
