Caregiving policies have gained relevance in Latin America due to the socioeconomic context of the region since the 1990s. The evolution of demographic factors has also contributed to the fact that caregivers have modified their number, composition and needs. The objective of this paper is to analyze caregiving social policies in Chile. For this purpose, a descriptive analytical methodology was used in order to understand the operational mechanisms. From secondary sources, it is shown how women in Chile construct part of their identities and histories through the care of others. Likewise, it is convenient to identify the historical context in which these policies have been implemented, mainly in the country where the application of neoliberal economic, political and social reforms began, and how the State has reduced its influence and scope in the design and implementation of these measures aimed at reducing inequality and improving the living conditions of the majority of the population.
