Abstract

When the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established in the early 1990s, achieving these in Argentina seemed a doable, though challenging enterprise. The fifteen years following 1990 (the reference year for the MDG targets) were characterized by great turbulence, with periods of growth, recession and profound social crisis. As a consequence, Argentina’s progress towards the goals has been far from satisfactory. The stop-go growth process did not lead to setbacks in improvements in primary education, children’s health and basic sanitation, but progress in these areas has been rather modest. Progress towards MDG 1 (the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger) has been more dismal and income poverty has increased substantially since 1990. The target of halving extreme poverty between 1990 and 2015 seemed reachable in the early 1990s, but now has a low probability of being achieved.
