World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

One of the most important barriers for women and LGBTI+ to participate in the economy and the labor market is the rigid structure of the economy horizontally segregated. In 2022 the Ministry of Public Works advanced in the removal of barriers for women and LGBTI+ to participate in the Construction sector (one of the most male dominated activities in Argentina with only 4% women) through a national resolution to eliminate sexist language in all the documents, tenders and other related communications created and disseminated by the organism. The resolution is part of the efforts to gender mainstreaming in the area that the Ministry is carrying out with UN Women’s technical assistance. Another important outcome has been the agreement signed among the Ministry of Public Works, the Chamber of Construction (CAMARCO) and the Union (UOCRA) to increase joint efforts to include more women and LGBTI+ as workers in the sector. The removal of women and men’s stereotypes is key for changing the structure of the labor market. Thus, in April 2022 the Argentina National Chapter of the Unstereotype Alliance was launched, making it the third in Latin America, and the twelfth National Chapter in the world. With this formal launch 9 partners (large advertisers from the private sector, advertisement chambers, advertising agencies and gender in advertising specialists) are playing a key role in the adoption of collective action to remove barriers in the private sector through the elimination of stereotypes. During the reporting period 33 additional companies signed the Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs), making 240 signatories in total in Argentina published in www.weps.org. A total of 1896 people from the private sector strengthened their capacities to address and promote gender equality in their companies through access to equal opportunities, gender-sensitive procurement processes, communication and eradication of unconscious biases. The WEPs community kept their interest and motivation throughout the 10 monthly workshops and specific interactions to complete their gender action plans to ensure women's equitable access to services, goods and resources. Adopting the WEPs is a continuous journey for many companies in Argentina. For example, by joining the WEPs community in 2019, Arredo was able to adopt Cuidar Cuidando in 2022, an integral policy that offers 180 days for caring regardless gender and type of family.Disclaimer and notes
