POV about politics and original research removed. Argentina is far from the poorest country in the region and various inaccuracies removed or corrected. The whole page is badly written and mostly garbage, Also Paraguay is one of the poorest countries in South America. Who wrote this shit? Bigslick666 (talk) 11:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Poverty in Redaction

Starting with the first paragraph that lacks points and references: Poverty in South America is high in all countries All of the countries in South America are greatly affected by poverty to some extent. From 1999 to 2010, poverty dropped from 43.8% to 31.8% So it seems poverty is high just because. There's a short mention to Chile, stating that it won't have an overview, but it is not clear why, should we assume is because of lack of information or lack of poverty? Apart form this, there's no mention in the article to Suriname and Guyana, also countries in south america. 190.21.46.136 (talk) 00:49, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Stampini's comment on this article

Dr. Stampini has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

The entry has shortcomings.
The introduction is short and does not adequately summarize the knowledge on the topic. Country sections do not have similar extensions. Data is not comparable across countries, being based on national statistics. There is a literature that adopts standardized poverty lines, but this approach is not discussed.
Unfortunately I do not have time for a more extensive review. For more detailed comments, I would recommend contacting Marcos Robles (marcosr@iadb.org) who is our poverty expert at the Inter-American Development Bank.

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

We believe Dr. Stampini has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:
