Argentina: Elderly Tenancy Doubles as Labor Informality Erodes Housing Access

Elderly tenants in Argentina's large urban centers have doubled over two decades, with nearly 40% of 25-35 year-olds unable to achieve housing independence. The Ministry of Capital Humano reports over 265,000 formal jobs lost between November 2023 and July 2026, indicating structural labor market deterioration that will worsen retirement prospects. This reflects a long-term socioeconomic trend rather than a sudden shift, but the scale of job losses signals accelerating informalization.
