Collapse of the middle class: more than 50% of Argentines belong to the lower class, with an average salary of $1 million

The article reports on Argentina's socioeconomic structure based on a report by consulting firm W, published by NA. It states that over 50% of households in Argentina belong to the lower class, which includes both poor and non-poor segments. Specifically, 21% of households are classified as 'poor' with an average income of $1 million per household, while 30% fall into the 'non-poor lower class' with a minimum salary of $1.5 million. When combined, these two groups exceed all middle and upper classes combined. The article also notes that the average family income is $2.8 million, but 78% of households earn less than this amount. The social pyramid is divided into five categories, with only 5% of Argentinians belonging to the top tier (upper class), followed by 17% in the upper-middle class, 26% in the lower-middle class, and 31% in the non-poor lower class.
