CUBILLOS-CELIS, Paula. Childhood in Chile 1973-2013: 40 years of neoliberal tensions and inflections. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.3, pp.167-188.  Epub 06-Dez-2021. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.19.3.4868.

The objective of this article is to analyze the different approaches adopted by the Chilean social welfare system towards child protection between 1973 and 2013, and to analyze the tensions that emerged from the process of neo-liberalization that occurred during this period. The main result of this work is that the transformations observed since 1973 involved three processes that affected the structure of rights distribution: liberalization, technocratization and targeting. Health, education and specialized protection policies reflect both the continuity model and neoliberal influence, and there-fore offer a privileged standpoint for analyzing the socio-political and economic processes that occurred in Chile during this period. Through a qualitative methodology involving analysis of interviews, the legal framework and sectoral documentation, this research reflects on 40 years of the reconfiguration of social services in Chile and the effects on childhood during the process of neo-liberalization.
