Argentina has a birth rate of 1.88 children per women in average. That is a higher rate than in europe (1.46), so in comparison to these numbers, I say yes, it is. The population size is getting bigger and bigger in the future, if it keeps in that way.

Excuse my ignorance, but my instincts tell me youd need an average a birth rate of >2 children per women to grow?

Or is there growth immigration driven?

Is their something i am missing

As you asked me, I have researched and it is actually said that a country needs a rate of 2,1 to have a stable numbers of citizen. In this sense Argentina's population rather get smaller than bigger in the long run.

Are you assuming no net immigration?

I have admittedly not considered the net immigration, just the birth rate. That is another important aspect, I agree.

Argentina's population size is slowly increasing due to immigration and a relatively stable fertility rate.

The Argentine economy is in shatters but records growth because inflation drives up the value of economic indicators. Actual production basically peaked around 2005 and has been more or less stagnant (even according to their own statistics) for most of the last decade (probably declining if we account for physical goods Vs value).

Milei's plan to dollarize the economy has a chance of working though.

Argentina’s population is growing, but at a slower pace compared to the past. Birth rates have declined, so while it’s still increasing, it’s not rapidly expanding. I also found this guide that talks more about Argentina, including tourism and other aspects https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-argentina-statistics-2024-a-comprehensive-travel-guide-5706 It mentions that Argentina’s population is 45 million people.
