Between compensation and inclusion. Tensions in labour and employment policies in Argentina’s post-convertibility period.
Abstract
The recurrent capitalist crisis and the persistence of poverty situations lead us to rethink the centrality of labour and to address the new configurations it adopts. We start from the assumption that public policies are a privileged sphere for an analysis of the ways state agencies deal with inequality. Thus, this paper enquirespublic policies for employment promotion in Argentina’s post-convertibility period in order to detect the kind of dynamics installed and/or reproduced in relation to the employment field. The significance of thinking a reproductive dynamics of public policies and the forms adopted by the state’s involvement in the labour world lies in the opening of interpretive horizons towards new forms of inclusion.
