Summary: | This paper analyzes the system of social protection and social policies in Argentina. To do this, the characteristics of social protection system and the different programs to combat poverty which have been implemented since the reforms made in the 90,are developed. Later, we consider the changes that the system has had since 2003, especially in security matters, family allowances and coverage for young people. The main cash transfer programs are then developed, highlighting the current line thereof, especially the Argentina Works Program (Entry with social work, among others. ) We conclude that the current provision of social benefits maintains and deepens the structure of social risks existing as state transfers can be interpreted as a state grant to companies in the informal sector
