Official data reveal a marked deterioration in economic conditions, with poverty rates exceeding 30% and indigence rising notably between the periods analyzed. This increase is fundamentally driven by a widening gap in which the cost of basic living baskets outpaced the growth of household incomes, effectively eroding families’ purchasing power and pushing more citizens below the poverty line. The impact is not uniform, revealing clear vulnerabilities across different demographic groups and regions. Children and adolescents are disproportionately affected, with nearly half of those under 18 living in poverty, underscoring a severe intergenerational risk. Regionally, areas such as the Northeast and greater metropolitan zones show higher concentrations of economic hardship, indicating that specific localities face structural challenges that exacerbate national trends. This information is critical for the open data community, as it exemplifies the need for transparent, accessible, and granular statistical releases. By making detailed demographic and regional breakdowns available, institutions enable researchers, journalists, and civil society to move beyond aggregate figures, fostering a deeper understanding of social inequalities and holding policymakers accountable for the real-world impact of economic decisions.
