Argentina Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Argentina, tracking both new displacement incidents and the total number of people living in displacement at year-end. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and aligns with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. The dataset was last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling annual trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric
• Analyzing the long-term stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) based on year-end population figures
• Correlating displacement flows with conflict or disaster events mentioned in the description

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)
• Distinguishes between population stock and new displacement flows, accounting for multiple displacements
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use and adaptation

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
