Argentina vs Brasilia, Uruguay



 
I shared the map above with a student of mine in Brasilia just now, and he was surprised. He said that he had expected Brazil's poverty rates to be higher than Argentina's.

Perceptions, eh?

Seems off given a lot of Peruvians, Bolivians, Paraguayan low-skilled make all that effort to migrate to Argentina for work and benefits such as medical ones. Maybe the article's adjustment for cost of living is off.

You could definitely be right. Mark Twain famously said, "there are three kinds of untruths in this world - lies, damn lies, and statistics."
 


 
Very interesting, Reply Guy, thank you. For the convenience of others, here's a link to the Google Translated version, with the usual caveats - the banner is in Castellano and story will initially appear in that tongue, but wait a few seconds and it will change to English.
