Thanks to Milei, 82.2% of Argentines believe that their children will not leave the country

A recent report by the Argentine Catholic University (UCA) revealed that the vast majority of Argentines have positive expectations about the future of the country and, in particular, about the opportunities that future generations will have thanks to the Government of Javier Milei.

The study, prepared by the Argentine Social Debt Observatory (ODSA-UCA), points out that a marked “hope” persists in society in the midst of structural reforms promoted by the libertarian administration.

One of the most important data in the report reflects this climate of hope: “82.2% of the population maintains positive expectations that their children or grandchildren will have more opportunities.”

As the university explained in the document, this perception constitutes a “commitment to the future” on the part of society and is linked to the social consensus that accompanies the economic program of the Government of Milei.

Research shows that the vast majority of the population believes that the structural reforms implemented will lay the foundations for a country with greater opportunities for

future generations.

The sharp decline in poverty and indigence

The report also analyzed the evolution of social indicators and confirmed a downward trend in the levels of poverty and

The study goes hand in hand with official estimates from the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec), which, through the Permanent Household Survey, placed poverty for the same period at around 28%.

In the case of indigence, the differences between the two surveys are minimal: the UCA calculated it at 5.9%, while the official agency estimated it at 5.6%.

Even with methodological differences between the measurements, the different analyses agree to indicate an enormous improvement compared

to previous periods.

Another study that provided similar estimates was the one prepared by the Torcuato Di Tella University, through econometrist Martín González-Rozada. That report indicated that, using an updated consumer basket, poverty would have reached 33.2% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 26.9% estimated by the Ministry

of Human Capital.

Beyond the statistical differences, the UCA report focuses on the social climate that accompanies the current economic process. According to the university, the fact that more than eight out of ten Argentines believe that their children or grandchildren will have more opportunities reflects the great positive expectation about the direction of the country
