Building, shaping and changing social policy in Latin America
Sat, May 28, 2:30 to 4:00pm, TBASession Submission Type: Panel
Abstract
What constellations of actors, ideas and institutions have underpinned universal versus segmented social policies in Latin America? The 2000s brought expanded coverage but also challenges regarding generosity and equity in people’s access to cash benefits and services. As this expansionary trend slows down, we propose to discuss the forces at work behind various social policy trajectories in comparative perspective. We place current developments in a broader historical time span and analyze social insurance, social assistance and citizen-based measures. The dialogue between papers that compare countries, sectors and historical periods sheds lights on the prospects for egalitarian social policy in the region.
