The political responses to these marked social differences have been committed through assistance policies, understood as actions aimed at extreme poverty.

A pesar de una leve reducción en los últimos años, la desigualdad constituye un elemento característico del continente latinoamericano. Un lugar donde se vienen desarrollando desde el siglo pasado políticas asistenciales —entendidas como las acciones dirigidas a los pobres— que se han consolidado e institucionalizado en los últimos años a través los Fondos de Inversión Social, los Programas de Transferencias Condicionadas y los programas de proximidad, como ejemplos paradigmáticos. En base al análisis de documentos, este trabajo tiene como objetivo describir y analizar dichas experiencias a fin de dar cuenta de la mirada de la realidad que contribuyen a consolidar. Se concluye que la política asistencial habilita un proceso de desplazamiento, en tanto posibilita discutir la pobreza en sí misma (poniendo foco en las personas a quienes se dirige, las/los técnicos actuantes y/o el diseño, monitoreo de los programas y su articulación y coordinación) y por fuera de la realidad social de la que es expresión, fundamentalmente, de la estructura de desigualdad persistente en la región.

Despite a slight reduction in recent years, Latin America still constitutes as the continent with the greatest social inequalities. The political responses to these marked social differences have been committed through assistance policies, understood as actions aimed at extreme poverty. Originated in the last century, in this one has been institutionalized and consolidated through paradigmatic mechanisms such as Social Investment Funds, Conditional Transfers and proximity programs as paradigmatic examples.
Based on the analysis of documents on these three experiences, this work aims to describe and analyze these proposals, trying to understand the assessment of reality which is part of them and contribute to consolidate. The conclusion is that assistance policy allows displacement process, that means that becomes possible to discuss poverty alone (focusing on policy beneficiaries, or the programs format and there capacity of monitoring and coordination or in their professional workers), leaving out of the analysis the structure of persistent inequality in the region. |
