Argentina has recorded one of its most significant social improvements in recent years: a strong decline in child poverty, confirmed by UNICEF. The data show that the number of children living in monetary poverty fell by more than 14 percentage points — equivalent to roughly 1.7 million fewer minors below the poverty line.

This achievement has been celebrated by President Javier Milei, who highlighted it as concrete proof that his economic stabilization plan is beginning to deliver real results for the most vulnerable sectors. The combination of strict fiscal order, deregulation, and market confidence appears to be restoring purchasing power and social balance after years of stagnation.

According to UNICEF’s analysis, the reduction in child poverty is directly linked to better income distribution, increased employment, and a stronger peso. These outcomes reflect the government’s broader commitment to rebuilding Argentina’s economy on the principles of liberty, merit, and fiscal responsibility — key elements of Milei’s reformist vision.

The President emphasized that “freedom and discipline” are not abstract ideas but tools to rebuild dignity and opportunity. Economists note that improving child welfare not only strengthens families but also lays the foundation for long-term human development and social stability.

As Argentina continues to regain international credibility, this milestone strengthens Milei’s message to investors and global institutions: the reforms are working, and the country is entering a new phase of sustainable recovery.
