A 25 September 2026 Al Jazeera report cites INDEC survey figures showing poverty at 32.3% in the first half of 2026, up 4.1 percentage points from 28.2% in the second half of 2025.
Al Jazeera reported on 25 September 2026 that Argentina's poverty rate reached 32.3% in the first half of 2026, against 28.2% in the second half of 2025 — a rise of 4.1 percentage points.
The same report gave extreme poverty moving from 6.3% to 7.5%, and unemployment of 7.9% in the second quarter. It also kept a UCA year-end poverty estimate separate from the observed first-half figures; the estimate is a forecast, not a measurement.
