Sumario:In Argentina, the economic development that had allowed some slack for some social sectors since the end of the 19th century, excluded many, which became particularly evident in the context of the First World War and the economic crisis that the country went through in those years. This article asks whether, in a framework of renewed concerns, there was a change of course in actions on poor childhood. The work proposes that although concerns about this group found an extended echo by public opinion and some sectors of the political arc, in the local spaces analyzed, concrete practices continued to be tied to Catholic charity work managed by women. In them, the most innovative public actions were only aimed at mitigating the poverty of the working classes.
