One year into Javier Milei's presidency, Argentina finds itself grappling with deepening social and economic challenges. Workers, families, and vulnerable populations are bearing the brunt of policies that exacerbate inequality and hardship. 📊 Key indicators: 🔵Poverty has surged from 41.7% in late 2023 to 52.9% by mid-2024. 🔵Extreme poverty now affects 18.1% of the population, leaving many unable to afford basic food. 🔵Real wages have plummeted, with the minimum wage covering less than 30% of basic living expenses. This is a stark reminder of the importance of policies that prioritize social protection, fair wages, and economic justice. #Argentina #Milei #SocialProtection #FairWages #EconomicJustice

FIFA's selection of #SaudiArabia as the #WorldCup2034 host raises serious concerns about workers' rights. The decision, made without independent evaluation of bids, overlooks the kingdom's ongoing labour abuses, including the oppressive kafala system and denial of union rights. https://lnkd.in/edCexGSq

The ITUC is deeply concerned by the process to select the hosts for the 2030 and 2034 men’s football World Cup. It undermines democracy and human rights in sport, and puts workers in Saudi Arabia at extreme risk. #SaudiArabia #democracy #HumanRights #SportAndRigts #FairPlay #WorldCup
