Child poverty in Argentina will grow from 57% to 70% if “conditions do not change,” according to Unicef. The United Nations agency projects that the budget for children will fall 75% in real terms in 2024.
UNICEF estimates that seven out of 10 children - 8.6 million nationwide - were experiencing one of these deprivations by the end of 2023. Since December, the economic crisis in Argentina has deepened even more due to the adjustment imposed by the Milei Government.
