Description
Groups of people wait at the "La Colorada" train station platform. Two men stand at the edge of the platform with their backs turned, facing the direction of the train platform. A group of people stand in front of the station house with luggage and goods in a carriage. Between 1983-1988, the 80's were considered to be the "lost decade" because of Mexico's debt crisis. This was due to the falling oil prices that left Mexico without foreign currencies to pay off its $80 billion debt. This in effect, increased high levels of unemployement, especially in rural areas. Grupos de personas esperan en la plataforma de la estación de tren "La Colorada". Dos hombres están parados en el borde de la plataforma con la espalda vuelta, mirando en dirección a la plataforma del tren. Un grupo de personas está parado frente a la estación de la estación con el equipaje y las mercancías en un carro. Entre 1983 y 1988, los años 80 fueron considerados como la "década perdida" debido a la crisis de la deuda de México. Esto se debió a la caída de los precios del petróleo que dejó a México sin monedas extranjeras para pagar su deuda de $ 80 mil millones. Esto, en efecto, aumentó los altos niveles de desempleo, especialmente en las zonas rurales.
