This article analyses the stark contrast between the revolutionary shift in LGBT rights and the maternalistic shadow still cast over childcare-related family policies in Argentina. It analyses family law and recent developments in the recognition of women and the LGBT population as equal rights holders in the realm of the family. Then it examines family policies aimed at working parents with childcare responsibilities, exploring whether or not the enactment of the Egalitarian Marriage Act shifted the consideration of working mothers and fathers' rights and obligations regarding childcare. Finally, it discusses the challenges in implementing policies that can disentangle the gender and social inequalities embedded in them. The author argues that different logics are found in different family regulations. Family laws introduced gender neutral language and equal parental responsibilities, but family policies still distinguish rights and responsibilities according to gender even after the postpartum period. These not only misrecognize the LGBT population, but they also reaffirm maternalistic assumptions that do not reflect the new family dynamic and recent legal advances. In addition, in the most unequal region of the world, reinforce a system of socioeconomic and gender inequalities.
Objetivo. Analizar un conjunto de políticas sociales implementadas en la Argentina entre los años 2002 y 2014: el Plan Jefes y Jefas de Hogar Desocupados (PJJHD), el Programa Familias por la Inclusión Social (PF) y la Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH). Se trata de políticas destinadas a sostener ingresos de los hogares más postergados, los cuales tienen hijos e hijas de hasta 18 años (19, en el caso del PF). Metodología. El artículo se apoya en documentos oficiales y en la revisión bibliográfica. Resultados y conclusiones. Se examinan los cambios y continuidades que se sucedieron entre estos tres programas desde una perspectiva de género; indagando en qué medida se facilita, mediante estos planes, la desmaternalización del cuidado; o si ―más bien― las políticas sociales perpetúan, con su accionar, una concepción maternalista.
ABSTRACTThis article examines how social policies and programmes implemented in Argentina shape the political and social organization of childcare. The author seeks to analyse how welfare institutions are currently responding to emerging needs, and to what extent they facilitate the defamilialization of childcare for different social classes. Because Argentina lacks a truly unified 'care policy', four different kinds of facilities and programmes are examined: employment‐based childcare services; pre‐school schemes; social assistance care services; and poverty reduction strategies. It is argued that far from offering equal rights and services with a universalist cast, these 'caring' institutions reflect the ethos of the current welfare model in Argentina: a fragmented set of social policies based on different assumptions for different social groups, which in turn filter down to the social organization of childcare.
This article analyses moral dilemmas around aspects of care from gender and class perspectives. Based on quantitative data and qualitative research for the surrounding area of Buenos Aires, we probe how contemporary women and men in Argentina organise, experience and perceive the relationship between working life and their responsibilities for caring for family members. A situated ethics of care, as explored in the article, reinforces the notion that care is always contextual – it can only be understood within a social and political milieu – and presents distinctions among subjects that hold unequal positions in class and gender hierarchies.
This article analyses, from a human rights' approach, a group of social programmes implemented in Argentina from the year 2002, at the time of the biggest socioeconomic crisis that the country has suffered in the last decades. The main characteristics of the programmes are reviewed, and their anti‐poverty strategy, along with design and implementation, are evaluated in relation to human rights. An assessment is also made of the existence of mechanisms for citizens to present claims. Finally, a set of recommendations are made to facilitate the adaptation of the programmes analysed to the duties the State of Argentina has as result of its adherence to international laws on human rights. The analytical methodology proposed by this article could be applied to other policy areas.
