Resumen:
The presentation discusses the expansion of basic pensions in Latin America in a context of economic growth, changing ideas and new political balance. It evaluates the greater role for the state in social welfare, in contrast with previous decades of structural adjustment, and focuses on social pensions as a key policy of the period. It discusses the cases of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, and how re-reforms in the three countries have addressed the problem of low coverage, and to what extent these policies have enhanced the redistributive features of the pension system.
