Description
Landscape view of desert fauna and a large mountain range in 1983. 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.
Vista del paisaje de la fauna del desierto y una gran cadena montañosa en 1983. 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.
