In Argentina, the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC) released data on poverty across 31 major urban areas, noting significant disparities in the ability of residents to meet basic needs, with some cities reporting that over half of their population falls below the poverty line.
Simultaneously, the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) in Peru published results from the 2025 National Census identifying Madre de Dios as the department with the youngest population in the country. The region recorded an aging index of 27.1, reflecting a demographic profile characterized by a higher proportion of youth compared to other national territories.
