INFLUENCE OF PUBLIC POLICIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN SERVICES IN AGUASCALIENTES, MEXICO

The tasks of local governments must be addressed to promote human development in the entire population emphasizing inhabitants with fewer resources. The goal of this paper is to analyze the influence of public policies on the level of development of services for society in the municipalities of Aguascalientes, Mexico, so as to know the effectiveness of the government's work in covering the population, specifically considering piped water, sewer, and electricity. The methodology used was through the Gini index, used to calculate the human development index with services. The study population was constituted by the inhabitants of the municipalities of the state of Aguascalientes, and the information was extracted from the State and Municipal System of Databases (SIMBAD) generated in INEGI (2019). The results show few increases in the well-being indicators referring to urban services. There is a deficiency in access, questioning the efficiency of public policies by generating inequality in municipalities and stagnation of social welfare.
