In Javier Milei's Argentina, poverty now affects almost one in three people
Poverty in Argentina increased by 4 points in six months, ending a downward trend that began after the historical peak of 52.9% of the population reached early 2024 under President Javier Milei. This increase is due to a rise in inflation at the beginning of the year, in a country where the poverty index methodology remains contested.
