90% to 54% is wild.
Chile and Uruguay (Peru as well):
Argentina measures poverty more strictly than the rest of Latin America. No way Argentina is poorer than Bolivia or Brasil. This map is very bad.
apples to oranges
i feel like there might be something that happened shortly before 2022 thats skewing the numbers a bit…
Did they account for inflation at all? Or is it just dollars to pesos or whatever the currency is in each country?
There’s no way Bolivia is less poor than Brazil, and Argentina.
The PPP rating is very sensitive to USD fluctuations. Since Trump became president the currency has devalued somewhat and this reflects on these kinds of metrics.
Determining how relevant this is in measuring the daily needs of the poorer populations in the continent is another story.
As a Brazilian, no way we have more poverty than Bolivia
South America should be at the very least on par with eastern Europe or western Europe at the Greatest. But for some reason they aren’t.
Today is objectively the best day in human history for the average person to be alive. By every metric we as a species are better off than any point in our history. We have better education, health care, leisure time, food quality and quantity, odds of living through childbirth or to your 1 st birthday. Toilets and clean drinking water per capita. Today is the best day and tomorrow is looking pretty good too.
I don’t buy the Venezuela numbers. There’s no way it went from 90-54 in 3 years.
