‘Official poverty’ in Argentina 2.5 million people; private estimate: 11 million
The rate of poverty in Argentina dropped to 5.4% last year and indigence was down to 1.5%, according to data released by the controversial government’s stats office, Indec. A person ceases to be indigent in Argentina if he can feed on 6 Pesos daily, which based on the official rate is just over one dollar but in the parallel market 75 US cents. Read full article

The villas are an inherited problem, it's not like the suddenly appeared after CFK took office.

The hypocrisy is never ending.
Stop acting as if you cared a bit for Argentinas poor ones, you don't bloody care about your own ones and still you try to use it to fit your arguments.

Mind you, when you look at beautiful windswept beauty of the Falkland Islands and their safe well constructed homes in comparison to this dirty festering sweat pit, I can see why she has such envy.
Britworker I don't know if you've ever seen those villas, they are amazing that they are still standing. When you come in BA from the airport, the highway drives right past them. Cider blocks piled three stories high, most only have three sides to each floor. Some actually have pools on the top floor!!! The life of Riley. He is the real scary part. They themselves just “tap” into the powerlines for electricity, when wires are hanging everywhere! The places are a life hazard to everyone living there. Nothing like seeing a barefoot 7 year old girl on 9 de Julio Ave by the Oblisk begging at the lights on an 14 lane avenue because momma sends them out there. BUT......those are the Victory Front's votes.

Apr 25th, 2013 - 10:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's your hypocrisy that is getting old. When talking about Argentina, you use the poor as an example for the mistakes of the governors.
When talking ieologies, you take the same poor ones and call them unemployable and receivers of handouts.
So, Argentina should do something about her poor population, but not help them economically, as they would be taking handouts. Nor can they employ them, them bieng unemployable.
You are just being silly and using arguments as they fit you.

Villa Lugano, full of lady boys who venture out each night as Cartoneros to scrape a living. 6 Pesos a day is pretty average.

You mean the ladyboys?
The ones that get the biggest shaft are the children in these communities. All the welfare is being given to lazy adults that can vote. If the kids should end up being orphans, which happens, the non-profit organizations receive minimal funding from the government that usually doesn't even keep the lights on.
Apr 25th, 2013 - 11:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Even then, some of these charity organizations receive some private funding, but still manage to squeeze out as much as they can for themselves, and under-invest in the kids. These realities don't end up in the news, and this article doesn't even scratch the surface. You have to see it for yourself.

I don't have the necesary academic knowledge in order to affirm wether indec or private statistics lie or tell the truth about the social situation in argentina, in fact, i don't think that many of the people who often post their comments here, and who enjoy insulting argentina, or predicting future economic and social disasters have the neceserary knowledge either.
Apr 25th, 2013 - 11:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Although the 26% published by uca were true, what is omited in this report, as it isually happens, every time is published a report about poverty in argentina, is that in 2003 when nestor kirchner took office, there was a 53% of poor people, so, it means that despite all the serious problems that we still have, the social situation of the country could improve so much.
It's necesary to indicate that in 2003, ther was not any suspition of manipulaton of statistics by indec, suspitions started in 2007.

Apr 25th, 2013 - 12:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe if the Argentine 'government' spent as much time and effort on building a way out for these people in the slums instead of its obsession with 'democratising' the judicial and media systems and its expansionist FI agenda, running away from the 'vulture funds', fiddling with economic figures, scaring off foreign investment and generally being irresponsible blaming everyone else for its problems etc etc then in more than a decade of Kirchnerism real changes would have been seen. Argentina is one of the luckiest countries in the world for resources and opportunity. Whose fault is it that millions of Argentines live in unsafe cramped houses with scrap sheet metal roofs in dangerous, depressing barrios? At the very least youd have to say K-ism has failed to reduce the problem whilst unabashedly crowing on about the wonders of 'The Model'. Many of us here have seen the problem with our own eyes.

Apr 25th, 2013 - 01:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentinas population in the 70's were some 25M.
Today it's about 40M.
That's an increase of 37.5% or 67% more people today than back in the 70's, all depending of how you want to play with statistics.
The villas have also increased in size, but in percentages, they have decreased.
There are not 67% more people living in the villas today, than there were in the 70's. In BA, that would mean 3M times 1.67, which would give 5M people.
Hence, poverty had decreased, even if the actual numbers are larger today.
It also means there are much more people eating every day than there was in the 70's. And if you count those in numbers, like you do with the villas, your argument fails too.
Um, I think you are leaving out the vast majority of Missions, how about some of the provinces? There is MASS poverty in Salta, Jujuy, Missiones, etc yet INDEC thinks there is NONE.
Apr 25th, 2013 - 01:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't know about the 70s, I didn't even know Argentina existed then.

What a bunch of complete and arrant losers.
I think “open immigration ” is the issue here. There are probably millions of Peruvian, Bolivians, Uruguayans and Brazilians who came to Argentina for the better and now find themselves homeless and poor. Those same immigrants now have DNI's and are probably the ones that voted for CFk along with other stupid humble folks. What I'm tying to say is that most of the poor folks are immigrants. And no one sees that, but me.

Apr 25th, 2013 - 02:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The slum is alienated from the rest of Buenos Aires not only culturally, but economically. Only 65 percent of the homes have running water, which is usually provided by jerry-rigged connections of doubtful hygienic quality, according to Fernández Castro. Informal sewers feed into the rainwater runoff system, flooding areas with contaminated water after heavy rain. Population density reaches 33,000 people per square mile, or more than five times that of the formal city.

His ematiated body was located in the “Argentina” section of the website.
According to the autopsy, he died of malnutrition. Captain Pooper had stated he would quit his day job to become a philosopher and to bring out those who used multiple ID's in the website. Unfortunately for him, he was miserable at both jobs thus went unpaid for months.
He never realized that John Troll the 3rd always uses one nick, respects the rules of the forum, and that it was members of his own faction of argie-haters who created countless clones of “Truth Telling Troll”, “Tobias”, “Nostrolldamus the 13th”, ”John III (Pope)“, ”Arifu“, ”George Tsoukalos”, etc, etc. As they say, imitation is the ultimate form of flattery.

And we do have a carrier. Two in fact. Both currently used as helicopter carriers. And soon we'll have two more. Big ones.
What planes? Do you mean air force planes? The RAF has 827 aircraft. Also 41,900 regular and auxiliary personnel + 33,380 regular reserves.
Argie “air force” has 177 aircraft.
But if we have to fight again, we'll try to keep it fair. We'll send some Girl Guides. Do you think 5 troops will be enough?
Lots of money, thanks. And a much better economy than argieland. And “privatising” Royal Mail is not the same as closing it.

So next time you decide to issue some dumbass “comment”, try thinking how easy it is to show you what an uneducated, brainwashed fool you are. Just look at those figures. Including reserves, the British Armed Forces total 435,170 personnel. And argies? 104,340. Less than a quarter of ours. Ships is obvious. Aircraft? More than a thousand. The Army Air Corps isn't included above. It has 203 aircraft. So, 1,200. And you argies have 321 TOTAL. Seems like we have 4 times as much of everything. Except for inflation. Ours is 2.8%. Yours is 10 times that!

So a Paki living 20 years in UK is not British but a Peruvian, Chilean, Paraguayan, Bolivian, etc. illegal become automatically Argentine when put his feet on Argentina’s soil?
You ask for precision to distinguish illegal immigrants in UK but you don’t even bother to ask the same in Argentina.
Well boy, the people living in shantytowns in Argentina mostly are from Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile and other neighbouring countries that makes the 80% of the shanty towns population and mostly part of the illegal immigration in Argentina from the ’90.
Generous Argentina provides then with free health care, work and they occupy state land owned and they are not expulsed like will be in Europe or US.
Here Peruvian TV station collecting complains from illegal Peruvian immigrants that cannot buy official dollar to send to Perú and mostly are thinking to go other countries like Chile, etc.
Sure Chile will solve Peruvian’s currency problem to send greenbacks to Perú as they have better aligned economy with US.

C'mon stand by your convictions. Real or fake? (Doubtful you will answer).
So homeless people on drugs or with mental health issues in Canada means it has a slum problem like Argentina?
Recent immigrants (whether legal or not) living in shoddily converted garages in London backyards means it has a slum problem like Argentina?
DanyBerger you have a severe inability to CRITICALLY THINK. It is painfully obvious that your education finished somewhere towards the middle of high school.
Now. Are 200 people living in tents a slum? Is this really comparable to the hundreds of thousands living in villas miserias in Argentina?
It talks of 7,000 homeless and yet doesn't source the fact. What is the definition of homelessness? If someone sleeps on my couch for a week they are homeless according to statistics in my country.
Do converted garages in West London with plumbing and electricity compare to villas miserias? They're converted illegally but the land they are on is owned by those that did the conversion. These British “slums” are positively middle class for some countries.
However bad news sells and the word slum has such shock value precisely for ill-educated people like you that can't CRITICALLY THINK.
'Sheds with beds' is what they're called. And there's an estimated 10.000 of them in London and the Home Counties. Here's a picture of these “slums”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2049676/Welcome-Slums-Southall-How-unscrupulous-landlords-illegally-built-squalid-homes-immigrants.html
Now Google villas miserias buenos aires and compare the two. Let me help you:
* 800-900 slums
* over 60% are older than 15 years
* several million inhabitants
* nearly 90% have no access to the sewerage system
* most inhabitants are Argentinean
CRITICALLY THINK Dany my boy.
Those “london slums” look more livable than a lot of places in Argentina, let alone the villa 31. I've seen that place and it looks like an area in war torn Beirut. The safety issues alone with the electrical lines illegally tapped into the power grid......wires dropping everywhere, across the roadways........a disaster waiting to happen. I bet asslips prays for an earthquake because she will never do anything for them.

But now we can’t compare BsAs with London? Supposedly because it’s “a really huge city”.
Population of London metropolitan area: ~15 million
Population of BsAs metropolitan area: ~13 million
“In a large city like Buenos Aires 50k living in slums is much less than 17.500 in little London just in the west”
50,000 slum dwellers in BsAs? WTF! Do you even know how to do research?
Villa 21-24 in Barracas within the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires ALONE has 50,000 people.
What about the other 20-3o slums within the Autonomous City? Let alone the greater metropolitan area?
http://www.estudiosurbanos.uc.cl/2011/10/en-cinco-anos-se-han-instalado-90-nuevas-“villas-miseria”-en-el-conurbano-de-la-capital-argentina/
RESEARCH! The people living in the villas miserias are not thanking your for ignoring them.
As for Australia.
Their GOVERNMENT BUILT house was being renovated by the GOVERNMENT. GOVERNMENT housing is comparable to no housing? Living in a tent during a renovation is comparable to people spending decades living in a villa miseria?
I own up to my country’s problems. We have a huge issue with Aboriginal welfare. Australia’s entire indigenous population is probably the same size as the number of ALL slum dwellers in greater BsAs.
Governments belatedly realised the system is not working and changed

Total London as a region including out side London 8.173.900 people.
Source Table P04 2011 Census Office for National Statistics UK govt (ONS).
While metropolitan area of Buenos Aires it is more than 15 millions and the total population of the Buenos Aires Region it is over 18 millions.

You have ever been in London and not either Buenos Aires. Am I right?
“50,000 slum dwellers in BsAs? WTF! Do you even know how to do research?”
Nope its is 50k people in a slums not 50k slums, Villa 31 for example it is always the example cited.
Lets assume that the shitty info you have its right so 2.5 million live in shantytown in Argentina. Better off for you I will put all that people living only in Buenos Aires.
That makes 0nly 14% of the population of Buenos Aires (remember that I included all in Buenos Aires)
Also the type of La Destruccion and Clarin Miente include state council housing as slums. Well if you would know UK you would know that its full of that. Why don’t you count its?

You keep limiting what defines London’s metropolitan region but even when you do your statistics don’t make BsAs look any better.
You talk about being precise but seem unable to actually be precise.
I never said it was 50,000 slums – meaning each slum has 50,000 according to you. I said
“Villa 21-24 in Barracas within the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires ALONE has 50,000 people.”
One slum!!!!!!
I then asked you about the 20-30 other slums.
But you seem to think that 2.5 million people living in slums is better compared to what?
10,000 sheds with beds in London?
Let’s squeeze 10 people into each of these. Only 100,000 potential slum-dwellers? Let’s squeeze 100 in shall we and then we can have a million.
Too precise? Because that is just an absolutely farcical statistic.
All of London's supposed slum dwellers would fit in to Villa 21-24.
But then according to you, because some government built housing in La Destruccion and Clarin Miente exists, then all government built housing in the UK is therefore a slum.
CRITICAL THINKING dude!
You keep changing tact whenever your find you’ve backed yourself into a corner.
“New modern slums in Australia” on Youtube!
Today Tonight! PMSL! Oh please stop….. I can hardly breathe from your sheer stupidity.
Today Tonight!!!!! News of the World of journalism in Oz.
LOL
So now because landlords are squeezing international students into small apartments then there is a growing slum problem in Oz.
So according to your definition the following are slums:
- villas miserias
- people living in detached rooms in backyards or room additions
- anyone in social housing
- crowded apartments
So using your definition what is the slum population of BsAs now? I’d have to say that it is a hell of a lot higher than 14% now.
BsAs is probably getting up to 40—50% using your definitions.
You are making my argument for me.

“But you seem to think that 2.5 million people living in slums is better compared to what?”
Just compared with West London, then you have to figure out how much of these kind of slums are in the rest of London like the east. That BTW it is more poor than the west. I have to clarify that because you have never been in London.
“10,000 sheds with beds in London?”
Nope 17.500 just in west London then you have to multiply for the rest of shitty places in London. And I can tell you that there are a lot of shitty places outside London.
London has a lot of places full of public housing what in Argentina are called “Monoblocks” and they are counted by Clarin Miente as slums like Villa Lugano

“All of London's supposed slum dwellers would fit in to Villa 21-24.”
Nope because you forgot to count state council slums in UK. So why you are counting it in Argentina and not in UK?
“But then according to you, because some government built housing in La Destruccion and Clarin Miente exists, then all government built housing in the UK is therefore a slum.”
I’m using the same criteria if villa Lugano its a slum for clarin Miente the same would be in UK.
“So now because landlords are squeezing international students into small apartments then there is a growing slum problem in Oz.”
Sorry this is a slum anyone can tell you that.

How do you know I haven't lived in London. Careful here!
One crowded apartment in an apartment complex creates “heavily populated urban area characterised by substandard housing and squalor”
So now most of BsAs is a slum?
So here's a good question! What makes a heavily populated urban area?
Is it 18 million people in 5,000 km2 or is it
4.2 million in 9,000 km2?

It's just not important to me.
Indeed it's because of that rich neighbourhood.
The irony is beautiful.
This, good folks, is MY cantegril.

Oops! Sad news poverty in Australia seems to be even worse than I thought.
http://www.news.com.au/money/cost-of-living/what-life-looks-like-for-22-million-australians-below-the-poverty-line/story-fnagkbpv-1226498551944
“The figure includes nearly 600,000 children, many who go to school without breakfast or lunch and suffer from social isolation.
In a separate report, Anglicare Australia found three in four families also struggle to put enough food on the table and 1 in 10 children sometimes miss school because their families feel guilty for not providing adequate food.
“A wealthy country such as ours can, and should, do better to ensure that everyone is afforded an adequate standard of living,” she said.
“It is a fundamental human right.”
News.com.au this week talked to a 65-year old man from Sydney who has been unable to find full-time work over the last 15 years since he was seriously injured by a workplace assault...”
“Chris receives $410 a week from the disability pension and rental assistance. He spends most of it on private rental although he's been on a housing commission waiting list for 10 years.”
““I keep myself going on a daily basis and I don't know why.”
Mr Novak told news.com.au how his weekly budget breaks down.
-Rent: $200
-Car (petrol, insurance, etc): $58
-General bills: $56
-Electricity/phone: $48
-Groceries: $50
-Clothing: $5
-Medication: $2.90
-Entertainment: $1.50
Question. And what kind of entertainment can you get for $1.5 in Down under?
Total: $421,4 and $1685,6 per month and living in poverty.
Minimum wage for a full time job in Australia $606.40 per week so its is $2425,6 at month
A poor need $1685.6 to survive a full worker is $740 richer wow.
And what the hell can you do with $740 in expensive Australia? Where a middle class house cost more than a million dollar on these days?
I guess not much.
And you think that you are better than Argentina?
On paper perhaps?

Apr 29th, 2013 - 07:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where did I ask where you came from?
I don't need you to say where you come from. That's not the question I asked.
But it was interesting that you though that was the answer to my question.
Like Dany you are too predictable.

ok, i am form Argentina, i will tell you the truth. This article is a lie. Poverty in Argentina is probably around 55 %, not only 27%. This is only because of the super-corrupt government and stupid people that vote them. What we have to deal with everyday is: prices raising EVERYday, severely high crime rates (mostly homicides), daily blackouts, dangerous mass transit transport due to lack of investment, millions of immigrants from bolivia, peru, paraguay that bring even more crime and chaos (lack of border controls), poor people that think they have the “right” to steal from you because you studied and have a job while all they did in their lives was use drugs so they receive money from government which isn't enough for them to get all the drugs they want, and many other things i could say, but the worst of all is of course having to listen to the most stupid president in the world ( probably only seconded by chavez) saying lies all the time and believing she made the country “first world” and making it the most autocratic she can. By the way i love the UK i have a friend there and they are very nice people, it is a beautiful country, i love their accent and simplicity, the culture, etc, argentines should learn many things from them.

Let me guess... sure you are following your own advice and you are learning from your friend “Conqueror” to write. Am I right?
None had ever told you guys about the existence of paragraphs idiots?

May 02nd, 2013 - 04:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you obviously have nothing clever or useful to say, so you just try to defend yourself with minor things. You also start insulting others who think differently instead of exchanging ideas. Typical of a Kirchnerist, fascist or communist. “In Germany the 2nd bigger country in the west after US some people live in extreme poverty and not having enough income to meet basics needs as food.” You clearly lack proper language use. You don't even understand what you write. Your english is so very well polished you should be teaching at Harvard. As i translate this, you are saying Germany is the biggEST country in the west hemisphere after the US? you are quite wrong. If you mean size, you forgot about at least Canada, Brazil and Argentina. And if you mean population, you forgot about Brazil and Mexico. And you are saying that people in Germany live in extreme poverty? do you even care to at least know your own country before judging others?

May 03rd, 2013 - 07:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0I mean its the 2nd biggest economy in the west after US idiot.
The problem is that I have to edit my posts all the time on the fly, because this shitty text area writing application only allows 2000 chars.
Here I will get more fun.
Idiot, Idiot, Idiot, if you wouldn’t be so stupid you would realised by now that I’m German Idiot, from Deutschland a Jerry for fella Brits. Everybody knows that but you idiot.
Also everybody know here that I use to live in Britain precise in London for more than 2 years, also in Italy, also in Spain, of course Germany and also I know others countries as Switzerland, France, etc.
Well your problem is that you have ever been living in other countries and you have no idea of what are you talking about.
Well I will give you a road map in rich Germany there are people working for Euros 400 do you have any idea how poor you can you can be with that? I guess not.
In Italy, another country that I know very well you will find the same or even worst in the south where salaries are 70 Euros per week like in Napoli.
In Spain I saw “villas miserias” before in Argentina “Chabolas”.

So I saw “motochorros” in Italy before than I saw it in Argentina, I also saw people cleaning “car windscreen” in Europe than in Argentina.

Retired gets only 500 Euros per month how can they live with that in expensive Milan?
New poor at Milano (Milan for monolingual Idiots)

I hope you understand Italian there is a guy in the video above saying that he has to get up at 4 o’clock in the morning and has a really tough job and he only earns EU800 at month he cannot even pay the rent with that.
I think that you are a complete ignorant and idiot because you have not idea of what is reality in other countries.
Note: I have to cut 4 times my original post...

May 03rd, 2013 - 11:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes Dany has lived everywhere and now lives in Argentina.
Poverty in Argentina is lower than every other country.
Insulting people bolsters his arguments.
You'll soon learn like the rest if us that he's the class clown and we all have a laugh at him. After all, he's so smart he actually moved TO Argentina.

May 03rd, 2013 - 05:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can you provide the sources to support what you say in relation to the soposed 55% of poverty that we have, according to what you expressed in your post 178, or what you typed was just a personal opinion?. Beyond your reactionary and discriminatory expressions, if you don't have any respect, you can't discuss about anything.
Your reasons to reject c. f. k's government are as respectable as the reasons of the 54,11% of people who voted her.
I don't think that you are stupid for not having voted her, and i don't think either that you are being paid in order to criticise her policies.
Your politic ideas are just your personal choices, which are as respectable as mine. However, there are always reactionary people who have such a mediocre thought like your's who consider people who voted c. f. k. like lazy people who recieve some statal money to vote for government, or idiots who don't know what they do. It's actually the tipical reactionary comment of many sectors of the middle class, who often estigmatize poor people, but actually many of them don't have any idea about the reality of the poorest sectors of the society.
If you are so critic of what you consider like lazy people who receive some statal help, let me tell you that like it or not, you'll find lazy and hard working people in all the social sectors of the society.
On the other hand, if you think that c. f. k. said that we are in first world, is because actually you have never listened to her. She has never said such a stupid thing, in fact, like it or not, despite the tipical omisions that she and all the rest of the politcians usually commit, she often emphasizes in the 35% of workers who are undocumented. Beside, she always says that the true way to finish with poverty is not a subside, but a formal job, subsides are just a necesary social protection.
