Description
Summary:On the recent years, there is a growing interest on representing the Chilean governmental and development experience as an international example. Nevertheless, the results obtained by social policies after 1990 were not able to revert the inheritance of inequality from previous decades, nor reconsider the administrative architecture the dictatorship designed in order to establish a durable strategy of social retraction of the State. Chile shows similarities and coincidences with other countries of the Latin American Region, both in terms of structural adjustment process and in "innovative" social policies. For Instance the flagship program Puente - Chile Solidario is a good example of low cost and wider focus policies, known as Conditioned Income Transfer Programs (PTC), promoted by international funding agencies.  Puente - Chile Solidario is one of the "poorest" of those anti-poverty programs.
