UNICEF: 7 OUT OF 10 CHILDREN LIVE IN POVERTY IN ARGENTINA

A new report from UNICEF Argentina warns that seven out of ten children in the
country were living in poverty in the second half of last year.




Some 8.6 million children under the age of 18 lived in households that do not
meet the minimum income threshold or in environments where they are deprived of
their rights, warned the UN agency dedicated to children.

According to data collected in a UNICEF report in the second half of 2023, child
poverty is present in two dimensions: 57.5 percent of children experience
poverty due to economic resources, while 43 percent face poverty due to
deprivation of fundamental rights such as education and health. Thirty-one
percent of those aged under 18 experience both forms of poverty simultaneously,
equating to some 3.8 million children.

The report highlights how macroeconomic deterioration has increased both in
poverty and extreme poverty.

"The basic food basket is increasing at a faster rate than general inflation
rates and wages," said UNICEF Argentina’s Sebastián Waisgrais, an economist
specialising in social inclusion and monitoring. 

Waisgrais highlighted the need for urgent measures to protect household incomes
and improve the coverage of social benefits.

In the last six months of last year, extreme poverty among minors increased by
five percent to 19.4 percent, or some 643,000 kids, observed the specialist.

"This is the first time we have seen a very significant statistical increase” in
extreme poverty, warned Waisgrais. 

UNICEF’s data shows significant statistical differences depending on location,
gender and educational level. For example, child poverty in villas or barrios
populares reaches as high as 84 percent and in general, more girls are affected
than boys.

Waisgrais stressed the importance of maintaining and strengthening budget
allocations for household income protection policies.

"While there have been positive signs in this regard, it is key to maximise
efforts to improve the coverage and adequacy of benefits," he said.
