New Poverty in Argentina and Russia: Some Brief Comparative Conclusions

In  general,  the  concept  of  new  poverty  focuses  on  the  emergence  of  groups characterized by strong downward mobility, as well as previously unknown types of poverty. Its specifi c defi nition, therefore, varies among countries. The cases of Russia and Argentina illustrate this variation. In Russia, new poverty became a subject of debate following the market reforms of the 1990s, several years later than in Argentina. Poverty in post-Soviet Russia has a number of specifi c features. Firstly, it is a widespread phenomenon. Impoverishment peaked in 1999: at that time, depending on  the  standards  used,  the  share  of  poor  people  was  between  20  and  50  percent.
