Poverty in Argentina

Argentina is the third biggest country in Latin America, the eighth biggest country in the world, and has had many successful economic and social junctures in its history because of its wide reserves of natural resources and national industry.

Unfortunately, now Argentina finds itself at its highest poverty level in the last 35 years, according to the INDEC.

Being poor, or living below the poverty line, means not being able to satisfy a set of food and non-food needs considered essential while being indigent refers to not being able to access the basic food needs.

On a national scale, the population poverty level reached 40.1% in the first semester of 2023, meaning that 29.6% of households are below the poverty line.

Of that 40.1%, 6.8% find themselves in indigency; but since the country has 23 different provinces, it’s interesting to understand which sectors suffer the most.

Poverty throughout the country

Argentina is a federal State but concentrates its richness in the urban Capital of Buenos Aires. Poverty levels are higher and more recurrent in rural areas.

Chaco, Santiago del Estero, and Corrientes are the three provinces that remain at the top poverty level numbers in the Northeastern region, which has seen between 41-60% of population poverty in the last quarter of the century, and it’s going up.

The Province of Buenos Aires comes next, with 41.4%, followed by the Northwestern area which saw 41%.

Less affected regions are the Capital of Buenos Aires, with 17%, and Ushuaia, the southernmost tip of South America, with 25% of poverty.

5 key areas where poverty affects the most

Education

The PISA study to measure 15-year-olds’ level of education determined that socioeconomic inequalities directly affect the educational level. Kids who live in poor environments have fewer opportunities to have access to education and this can be caused by not having many schools near their rural zones, inability to access a computer or books, having extra responsibilities such as working at early ages, or living in violent or non-safe homes.

Affordable Housing

Falling below the minimum salary often leads people to homelessness; even though this is a basic human right, according to the UN, it is not always covered. Not having a regular income or being an unregistered employee also helps to maintain the instability with which so many people struggle when it comes to affording a place to live.

Gender Equality

Women and girls living in poverty not only experience social disparity, but they also suffer double the consequences for being female and poor. Housework and caregiving tasks are expected to be carried out by them, obliging them to spend less time studying or seeking economic independence. Domestic violence and sexism are lethal for women living in low-resource environments or even on the streets, where they have a higher risk of being assaulted or murdered by men.

Job Opportunities

Discrimination within the labor system is very normal, especially at the moment of recruiting new workers. Living in “villas” (poor neighborhoods), for example, is reason enough to not consider your application, not to even mention not having an address.

Health

Poor countries and societies present worse sanitary results than those who are not. Leading causes of death in Argentina are tuberculosis, Chagas disease, dengue, and respiratory infections, typically related to poverty. Neighborhoods that don’t have sewers or water are fighting for urbanization to access better hygiene and prevent these diseases.

What can they do about it?

Argentina understands poverty as a structural and social matter, which encourages the discussion of public politics to diminish it.

They don’t think it’s merely an income matter, but a more complex and multidimensional phenomenon that involves culture, employment, and social exclusion, among others.

Public healthcare and public education are two important areas handled and defended by the Argentinian State, along with programs of money transfer, social work, technology and science tools, and productive self-employed programs.

In the meantime, civil society organizations also make a great difference and help with soup kitchens, cultural activities in social centers, and projects to provide sexual education, fight drug addictions, violence, discrimination, and more.

In summary, Argentinian commitment, through politics and civil society engagement combined, is looking to build a more equal society for everyone.

Trevonte Helton, a 29 year old Black man, "was found hanging from a tree at High Shoal Falls in North Georgia." This man was murdered, and their quick eagerness to call this an "isolated" incident is just horrifying.

i still remember clearly one of my first interactions at pride with a 40-something member of the lgbt community. I asked him if I could take a picture of him with the bear flag (because I was really happy to see it irl for the first time!) and he asked, "are you feeling like a she-bear a little bit?"

and being gay almost exclusively online back then aside from maybe two friends, I was shocked by that question. me? a 19 years old kid who thought themselves to be cis and bi? I was basically the polar opposite of what a bear is.

but now, six years later, I see it. I'm fat, I'm hairy, I'm shamelessly a dyke, I'm masc. yes I'm butch, but fuck it, I'm also a she-bear. that guy was right. I hope he's doing alright and he knows he's changed my view on labels forever.

#he's (largely) the reason why im so adamant about interactions within the community #i know and understand that many are not lucky enough to have the chance to socialize with older lgbt members of course #but reaching out to them online is also a great tool. what im saying is that it's important to talk to them #because what people argue about online literally does not matter #personal

Been thinking about how Donnie and Leo’s insecurities juxtapose each other.

Donnie is insecure about his place in the family, but confident in who he is outside of it.

Leo is secure about being a part of the family, but thinks he’s nothing outside of it.

I think it’s a very interesting comparison that reflects their respective personalities, Donnie’s “Will all I have to offer be enough?” versus Leo’s “Do I even have anything else to offer?”

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt leo #rise donnie #rise leo #‘I’m not good enough for my family’ versus ‘I am nothing without my family’#as a middle child they are Very Much Middle Children #willing to bet this is a big part of why they clash so much too #they both have what the other wants #I ALSO think they’re both introverts - yes even Leo - and that social exhaustion makes this all even harder for them #should I also get into how facts and science matter so much to donnie #while leo is into fiction and magic tricks and the like #BUT despite their interests donnie is less prone to suspicion than leo and I think that’s so interesting too #one day I’ll talk about it

The genocide in Gaza has not stopped, therefore we won’t stop either, not until Gaza is saved and Palestine is freed.

Don’t stop checking in on the reports about Gaza. Don’t stop talking and posting about it. Keep reblogging, retweeting, amplifying voices, calling and email senators/reps/etc.
