Following the most serious economic crisis in its history during 2001-02, the country mobilized an effort to provide income support to the population in need. Now, as growth has returned and social indicators have recovered to pre-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. The emergency response was effective, as it helped the country to overcome the worst of the crisis. The centerpiece of the strategy, plan Jefes y Jefas, provided benefits to nearly two million households during a period when poverty affected more than half the population and unemployment reached record levels. The number of beneficiaries slowly declined beginning in 2003, and was at nearly one-third of its maximum value by early 2008. This reduction was achieved by the reentry of beneficiaries into the formal labor market, the loss of eligibility, and the shift of beneficiaries to familias and seguro de capacitacion y empleo (Seguro), the successor programs to Jefes. Now that the crisis has passed, the policy debate has shifted toward the future of social protection over the longer term. The improvement in overall economic conditions since 2003 has resulted in a decline in unemployment, poverty, and inequality, and a recovery of formal employment and real salaries to pre-crisis levels. These positive trends have generated opportunities to consider longer-term and structural issues, including a debate over the future of whether this new type of noncontributory social policies, based on income transfers to households and individuals, should continue.--Publisher's description. 000386196 650_0 $$aIncome maintenance programs$$zArgentina. 000386196 650_0 $$aEconomic assistance, Domestic$$zArgentina. 000386196 650_0 $$aSocial security$$zArgentina. 000386196 651_0 $$aArgentina$$xEconomic policy. 000386196 651_0 $$aArgentina$$xSocial policy. 000386196 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000386196 7102_ $$aWorld Bank. 000386196 830_0 $$aWorld Bank country study. 000386196 852__ $$bebk 000386196 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=476214$$zOnline Access 000386196 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:386196$$pGLOBAL_SET 000386196 980__ $$aBIB 000386196 980__ $$aEBOOK 000386196 982__ $$aEbook 000386196 983__ $$aOnline
