  "summary": "Argentina's poverty rate has risen to 32.3% in the first half of 2026, up from 28.2% in the previous six months, according to official data. The rate of extreme poverty also increased, from 6.3% to 7.5%.\n\nThe poverty rate among children aged 14 and under is significantly higher, at 44.5%, with 10.8% classified as extremely poor, according to Free Malaysia Today.\n\nThe increase in poverty is attributed to incomes not keeping pace with rising prices. The national statistics agency Indec considers adults who cannot afford a basic basket of goods and services to be poor, and those who cannot afford a basic food-only basket to be extremely poor.",
