The Chilean government presented the Casen 2024 survey results, showing income poverty dropping to 17.3%, equivalent to nearly 600,000 fewer people than in 2022, under a more stringent methodology. However, the poorest households increasingly rely on state subsidies, which now make up 69% of their income. Extreme poverty stands at 6.9%, while multidimensional poverty falls to 17.7%.
In a chronicle published on January 31, 2026, economist Nicolas Baverez portrays France as Europe's Argentina, undermined by demagoguery that impoverishes the middle class and drives the exodus of talents and capital. Wealth per inhabitant fell to 38,110 euros in 2024, ranking the country 34th worldwide and 7% below the EU average for the third consecutive year.

More people than in previous years turned to Sweden's city missions for help during Christmas 2025 due to rising poverty. The organization reports that over 17,000 children and 5,200 households received support, a significant increase compared to 2024. The number of people in economic vulnerability has nearly doubled since 2021, according to Statistics Sweden.
Following the eviction of the former B9 institute in Badalona, led by Mayor Xavier García Albiol, over 80 people continue living in tents under the C-31 bridge, exposed to the elements during Christmas. While some have been temporarily relocated by the Generalitat and social entities, uncertainty lingers for most, with family separations and a lack of stable solutions. The affected individuals reject short-term alternatives that fail to address their precarious situation.
