“…Numerous anthropological studies have been conducted in these specific regions and they provide the evidence available on this population with regard to a diversity of topics. For example, they have studied black and Afro-descendant identity (Lewis 2000;Hoffmann 2008;Sue 2013;Gil 2013, to name some of the latest research) or racial mixing (Sue 2013;Hoffmann and Rianudo, 2014).

The 2015 Intercensal Survey marks the first time African descent self-identification was included on a nationally representative survey in Mexico. Before that, there were no nation-wide official counts of the Afro-Mexican population. In this paper we use ordinal logistic regression models to examine the effect of being Afro-descendant on the educational and occupational status of Mexi-cans. Contrary to expectations, our results show that, at the national level, there is no evidence that the self-identified Afro-Mexican population has a lower socioeconomic status than other Mexicans. This contradictory result may be attributed to a higher likelihood of Afro-descendant self-identification among more educated people, and lower among the most disadvantaged, par-ticularly in areas where Afro-Mexicans are less represented.
