Otorgaron a INDEC la facultad de cambiar la metodología de medición del Índice de Salarios

The Argentine government authorized the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC) to update its methodology for calculating salary variations, acknowledging that the original 2002 framework failed to reflect modern technological and labor dynamics. This adjustment enables statistical agencies to better capture contemporary economic realities, ensuring that public policy decisions are based on data that accurately represents current workforce structures and compensation trends. At the same time, INDEC is overhauling the Consumer Price Index by significantly expanding the volume of monitored prices and survey informants. Crucially, this revision incorporates digital services such as streaming platforms, which were previously excluded. This shift aims to provide a more comprehensive view of household consumption, recognizing how modern spending habits differ significantly from historical patterns established decades ago. These updates are vital for open data, as they redefine how social welfare and poverty are measured. By aligning statistical indicators with actual living standards and digital inclusion, the government can produce more transparent and reliable datasets. This evolution ensures that public resources and social programs are targeted effectively, promoting data-driven governance that reflects the true complexity of modern society.
