Resumen
Descripción
This study assesses the level of
targeting achieved in health and nutrition policies directed
to pregnant women and children under 5 years of age in
Argentina. It is based on information from two large
household data sets collected through Living Standards
Measurement Surveys undertaken in 1997 and 2001. The results
suggest that although health and nutrition public programs
are pro-poor, they became less so between 1997 and 2001 for
two reasons: a substantial reduction in the fertility rate
of poor couples, and an increase in the use of public
facilities by wealthier households, likely triggered by the
economic crisis that Argentina has suffered since 1998.
