Abstract

Los programas de transferencias de ingresos condicionadas comenzaron a difundirse en la década de los ’90 como mecanismos de contención social enfocados en los segmentos sociales más vulnerables, como consecuencia de las reformas estructurales propiciadas por las instituciones financieras internacionales en países en vías de desarrollo. El presente trabajo describe las principales experiencias, con mayor o menor grado de éxito, desarrolladas en América Latina y realiza una evaluación de las mismas. La principal conclusión a la que se arriba reflexiona sobre la necesidad de encontrar soluciones de largo plazo a los problemas de pobreza estructural que, si bien pueden ser mitigados por programas de transferencias condicionadas bien diseñados e implementados, no configuran una situación de mejoría permanente desde la perspectiva del empoderamiento individual.
