The age and racial ethnicity of people are relevant variables for the analysis of poverty. This affects the younger ones to a greater extent; in particular in those between 6 and 12 years of age, where the highest levels are registered. In 2021, it was estimated that 18.6 percent of children aged 5 or younger were living below the poverty line in Uruguay, a share that went up to 19.7 percent in 2022. On the other hand, at that time, the share of Uruguayans aged 65 or more living under the poverty line was merely 2 percent.
