Abstract

OTELVARO, Jaider et al. Neoliberal reforms and their implications in programs that support child rearing: The case of Family, Women and Children Community Homes in Colombia. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.645-658. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14144260215.

Objective: This article highlights recent trends toward transforming care policies aimed at child-rearing based on a modernizing order of state-society relations. The authors conduct an analysis of the transition of Community Homes Family Women and Children (Fami) to become Centers for Integrated Development. Methodology: A participative research project was conducted with community mothers from a Family Care Program (Fami) implemented by the Colombian Family Welfare Institute (ICBF) in Medellin. The study was an experience that contributed to developing further understanding of the program‘s pedagogical model for participants. Results and conclusions: The educational process led by the Fami mothers is highly relevant for the users‘ family, generating community networks and changes in family relationships. It also contributes to more integrated human development for the family; these elements are at risk of being lost in the transition process for the creation of Centers for Integrated Development.

Keywords : child rearing; community and transformative education; social policy; globalization.
