Article 123, Section A, Subsection XII, confirms this right of the Mexican worker when it states that "every agricultural, industrial, mining or other sort of enterprise shall be obliged, as may be laid down in the laws governing this matter, to provide comfortable and hygienic housing for its workers. This obligation shall be met by means of the contributions made by the enterprises to a national housing fxond in order to build up deposits in favour of their workers and establish a financing system enabling cheap credit to be granted to them sufficient for them to become owners of such housing. It is considered that it would be in the public interest to adopt a law establishing a body made up of representatives of the Federal Government, the workers and the employers to administer the resources of the national housing fund. The law in question shall lay down the forms and procedures to be followed by the workers if they wish to become owners of the housing aforementioned". Subsection XXX of Section A stipulates that "Cooperative societies for building cheap and hygienic dwellings intended to be bought by the workers on an instalment plan shall be deemed to be of public interest". Section B, Subsection XI, paragraph F, lays down the right to housing for workers employed by the Federal Authorities and the Government of the Federal District.E/1986/3/Add.l3 page 46 E/1986/3/Add.l3 page 47 Population and housing, 1980 Total no. of dwellings Average no. of persons per dwelling - with piped water - connected to the public sewers or a septic tank - with electricity Owner-occupied5.6 6,703,146 6,015,344 9,108,074 8,159,79712,216,462 Housing (000s) 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 No. of dwellings in existence13,302 13,589 14,010 14,456 14,986 No. of inhabitants 72,005 72,701 75,323 77,369 78,870 Owner occupied 8,839 9,103 9,419 9,728 10,065 Not owner-occupied 4,363 4,486 4,591 4,728 4,921
