Abstract

This chapter traces the process of construction, maturation and retrenchment of Argentina’s social protection system, and links this process to ongoing changes in the state’s development strategies and the roles played by the key social actors. It then analyses the impact of economic and social protection reforms during the 1990s on both people’s welfare and their life opportunities. Finally, it discusses the features of policies oriented towards reversing the negative consequences of those 1990 reforms. This chapter addresses three specific areas of social policy that, taken together, demonstrate the predominant orientation of each stage of the development of the welfare state (WS): education, social security, and income maintenance. The latter area primarily addresses protection policies related to problems in the labour market.
