ARThe province of Buenos Aires, the largest in Argentina by population and area, exhibits significant socioeconomic contrasts between its interior and the densely populated conurbano region. While the province has over 17.45 million residents, nearly a third of the national population, the rate of natural increase was minimal since the last census. The conurbano accounts for most of the population, with stark disparities in living conditions, including high poverty rates. According to official data, nearly 4.58 million people in the Greater Buenos Aires area were in poverty as of late 2025, while employment figures show a decline in formal jobs and an increase in informal work. Social programs like the AUH provide support to over 1.54 million children, but overall consumption has declined significantly. Meanwhile, the province remains a major exporter, leading regional exports with over $15.9 billion in the first half of the year.
