Argentina childcare cost reporting
Overview
The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC) released data regarding the monthly cost of raising a child in Argentina for July 2026. The expenses, categorized under the ‘Canasta de Crianza’ (Childcare Basket), vary by age group.
Costs for children under one year old are reported at $545,683, while those aged 1 to 3 years cost $649,935. Children aged 4 to 5 years are estimated at $554,646, and the highest monthly cost is recorded for children and adolescents aged 6 to 12 years at $697,268.
INDEC’s methodology incorporates two primary components: the cost of essential goods and services—including food, clothing, transport, education, health, and housing—and the economic value of time dedicated to childcare. The latter is calculated by valuing the monthly hours required for care based on remuneration standards for the ‘Assistance and care of persons’ category within the domestic worker regime.
