CLEAN : With tiny pensions Mexican seniors work for tips

This is crucial as the pension system is underfunded, with only a quarter of seniors receiving pensions. The government has initiated programs to reintegrate seniors into the workforce, allowing them to earn tips without losing pension benefits.
