https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/economy/uca-observatory-says-poverty-rate-reached-416-last-year.phtml UCA measures poverty on a multidimensional level, says it fell to 41.6% in 2024. In the end of 2023 poverty was 41.7%, but as I said real wages had fallen by 20% at the end of 2023. Under Milei the wages largely rebounded back but without the added burden of hyperinflation, so swathes of people got out of poverty.
