SALVIA, Agustín; POY, Santiago  y  VERA, Julieta. Social Policy and Its Effects on Poverty Under Different Macroeconomic Regimes: Argentina, 1992-2012. Desarro. soc. [online]. 2016, n.76, pp.165-203. ISSN 0120-3584.  https://doi.org/10.13043/DYS.76.4.

This article analyzes the changes observed in social policy in Argentina between structural reforms phase and the subsequent period of economic growth under heterodox economic policies, and strives to determine how government social spending -especially income transfers, employment programs and pension and retirement income- affected poverty and extreme poverty rates. Firstly, changes in the volume and composition of government social spending are examined. Secondly, the article presents results of a decomposition model, which allows the identification of the effects produced by economic growth, income distribution and social policies on the observed changes of poverty rates. The article uses government data and micro-data of household's survey known as Encuesta Permanente de Hogares, by the National Institute for Statistics and Census.

Palabras clave : Social policy; poverty; extreme poverty.
