According to INDEC data, poverty in Argentina increased from 30% in the first quarter to 34.4% in the second quarter of 2026, affecting over 16 million people. Indigence, which measures those unable to afford a basic food basket, rose from 7% to 8%. Experts attribute the increase to falling income, rising tariffs, and growing informal work. The rise in poverty is particularly concerning for children and adolescents, with 48% living in poverty.
