To overcome the poverty line, the same family needed $ 70,049 while last month the figure was $ 67,780. This implies a rise of 3.37% between August and September.
At the same time, it was also specified that last month the same family required $ 108,674 to integrate the middle class and $ 36,890 to avoid being in the poverty line. In August, the figure was $ 104,966 for the middle class and $ 35,700 respectively.
It is worth bearing in mind that the calculation of the Buenos Aires statistical agency does not include housing rental expenses in different proportions, which would raise the necessary resources to review in each of the social strata in different proportions. These figures are in line with the inflation registered by the INDEC, which showed an acceleration for the month of September of 3.5%.
The higher inflation compared to the previous month was mainly due to seasonal factors. This was mainly reflected in the prices of the Clothing and footwear division, which rose 6% due to the change in the season and led the increases for the month.
On the other hand, food and beverages, the division with the highest incidence in the CPI, registered an average increase of 2.9%, below the general level but higher than the rise recorded in August. The seasonal issue also had an impact on food, causing increases of between 4% and 9% in fruits and vegetables.
In this sense, It was observed that the September food basket (CBA) (for a typical family, homeowner and with two children) had a rise of 3.17% while the total basic basket (CBT) had a rebound of 3.53 %.
In September, a family made up of a 35-year-old couple, “both economically active and homeowners,” with two boys, ages 9 and 6, required these incomes to be located in each of the strata:
- In a situation of indigence: maximum of $ 36,890
- In a situation of non-indigent poverty: minimum of $ 36,890.51- maximum of $ 70,049.13
- Non-vulnerable poor: minimum of $ 70,049- maximum of $ 86,939
- Fragile medium sector: minimum of $ 86,939. Maximum of $ 108,674
- Middle sector “middle class”: minimum of $ 108,674- maximum of $ 347,757
- Well-off sectors: $ 347,757
