What the numbers say
In 2025, Argentina's part time employment, male (% of total male employment) fell 0.25 percentage points on 2024 (from 30.56% to 30.31%).
Across the 15 yearly changes before that (2005 to 2024), the average change was −0 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 3.7 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 9.81 percentage points in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 8.63 percentage points in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2017 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
