Great news. It sounds like poverty is going down!

Poverty fell to 31.6% in the first half of the year, reaching its lowest level in seven years.​


"Poverty fell to 31.6% in the first half of the year, reaching its lowest level in seven years.
The data comes from a newscast compiled by Torcuato Di Tella University specialist Martín González Rozada, based on official data. The figures are consistent with those of other private analysts and those recently published by the government."

It's important to clarify that information from Human Capital or the UTDT, for example, is not typically used officially. INDEC publishes data on these social indicators twice a year, based on data from the previous semester. The statistical agency had announced in March that the poverty rate had ended at 38.1% in the second half of 2024, while the first half of the year was 52.9%.

The next official data will be released in September and will correspond to the first half of 2025. In any case, analysts agree with the trend indicated by the government." (Google translate)
