HACIA LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD EN EL CUIDADO DE LAS INFANCIAS: AVANCES Y DESAFÍOS EN EL SISTEMA DE SEGURIDAD SOCIAL ARGENTINO

Abstract

The care agenda is crucial for the integral development of children in Argentina. The social security system, with the Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH) as a fundamental pillar, has made progress in the inclusion of the most vulnerable families. However, serious challenges remain regarding exclusion and the need for greater social co-responsibility in care. The evolution of the system is examined, from an initial model centered on the "male breadwinner" to the gradual incorporation of a rights perspective and the care agenda. The universalization of coverage, the elimination of barriers to access, and inter-institutional coordination are key to guaranteeing the right to care for all children. Investing in this agenda is not only a matter of justice but also a strategic investment in the country's future.
