Resumen
Descripción
As Argentina approaches its bicentennial
as an independent republic, it has a window of opportunity
in social protection policy. As growth has returned and
social indicators have recovered to pre-2001/2002 crisis
levels, there is an opening to move from emergency income
support programs to a more comprehensive, long-term and
sustainable strategy for social protection. A recent report
aims to contribute to the discussion of options for social
protection. Specifically, it focuses on non-contributory
income support in Argentina through discussion of the
current set of programs, their coverage, effectiveness,
costs and sustainability. It looks at the potential impact
of the government's new social protection programs -
Seguro de Capacitacion y Empleo and Familias - which are in
the early stages of being rolled-out and specifically at the
institutional set-up for social protection and the potential
role of provinces in Argentina's federal system. The
report focused on income support in Argentina. The work was
carried out between July 2006 and June 2008 by a World Bank
team in collaboration with a wide range of partners in Argentina.
