TRUJILLO, Lucía  and  RETAMOZO, Martín. Anti-poverty Policies in Argentina: Scope, Limitations, and Challenges (2002-2015). Reflexiones [online]. 2019, vol.98, n.1, pp.89-110. ISSN 1659-2859.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rr.v98i1.33004.

This article analyzes the different strategies Argentina implemented to fight poverty from the exit of Convertibility in 2002 until the change of the political cycle in 2015. It examines labor market changes, labor institutions, conditional cash transfers, and pension inclusion policies. In this way, this research emphasizes the impact of social policies during this political cycle, its scope, limitations, and challenges. It shows how the definition of policies depends on the type of government diagnosis on the problem, as well as on the available resources, but it also evidences the relevance of structural factors to obtain results in social policy.

Keywords : Public policies; State; Labor market; Inequality; Citizenship.
