The plot of social policy in the territory from the Social Income with Work program-Argentina Trabaja

Abstract

Public policies have effects that go beyond formal designs due to the ways they are disputed and received in the territory because they enter a complex network of relationships composed of different actors. In this paper we characterize the local implementation regime of Argentina Trabaja-Social Income Program with Work in the Municipality of La Matanza based on local arrangements with the local community and local politics and a network of actors. The program has a high component of territorial diversity and, therefore, a look at the local level allows to identify particularities in its implementation.

To carry out the research, a qualitative methodology was used within which various techniques were developed and was based on the analysis of documents and, mainly, on the field work carried out during the period 2013-2016 and the qualitative research techniques used were differentiated according to the research objectives. The corpus of analysis was conformed by the Res 3182/09 that gave rise to the program, the document "National Distributor Program of Social Income with Work", the transcriptions of the field notes and the desgrabations of the semi-structured interviews.
