00:00A recent study by the Buenos Aires City Institute of Statistics and Censuses in
00:05Argentina revealed a growing gap between wages and the cost of living in
00:09the nation's capital. According to the study of minimum wage of 352,400 pesos
00:16it's not enough to cover a family's basic needs and considers that a family's
00:21poor income does not reach approximately 1.5 million pesos, about 1,000 US dollars.
00:28The report reflects a growing disconnection between the government's economic
00:32policies and their daily realities of the Argentinians. Meanwhile, while the National
00:37Institute's statistics reports a decrease in poverty, other sources indicate that
00:41poverty is expanding across the nation, leaving many households in a situation of
00:46extreme vulnerability without government assistance.
