Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In Latin America, a very high proportion of poor people are indigenous people. In the levels of income as well as other socioeconomic factors such as education and health, indigenous people lag behind non-indigenous people. Despite these socioeconomic disadvantages, development interventions and policies that favor indigenous people have been rare. One reason why there are few policies targeting the indigenous population may be related to the lack of data. It is difficult to count the indigenous population because, as discussed below, the concept of race and ethnicity is often fluid. In this study, I examine the fluidity in the concept of being indigenous in Mexico. Using two types of spatial segregation as proxy of inequality between indigenous and non-indigenous populations in Mexico, I analyze whether the level of inequalities changes as different methods for measuring the indigenous population are applied. Mexico is an ideal country to conduct such research because its latest national census, the 2000 census, is exceptional in a sense that for the first time in 79 years, it not only counted Mexico�s indigenous population by the ability to speak an indigenous language, but also took into account a person�s self-identity. The results of the study show that the size of the indigenous population differs significantly depending on methods for measuring the indigenous population used. Therefore, the study indicates the need for analyzing further factors that may influence one's status as indigenous or not.
