Abstract

The paper analyzes the achievements and challenges of the Program Argentina Trabaja, that aims to promote social inclusion through the creation of work cooperatives, to promote the Social Economy. Two neighborhoods of Buenos Aires are taken as case studies: Costa Esperanza and Achiras. It is used a plural articulated methodology analyzing data from a survey conducted in 15 districts of Buenos Aires and semi-structured interviews. The analysis shows the central problems of the recipients: job security, low incomes and weak health and social security coverage, a general feature of working conditions in the popular economy, which is more marked in these households. The cooperatives promoted by this social program have the potential to attend needs of residents and improve living conditions of households. For this it is essential to rethink the forms of protection in the popular economy and link the program to a development model focused on work, provision of public services and improving infrastructure.

Para ello se toman dos barrios populares del Conurbano bonaerense, Costa Esperanza y Achiras. Se utiliza una metodología plural que articuló el análisis de datos de una encuesta sobre 15 barrios del Conurbano con entrevistas semi-estructuradas a sus habitantes y el análisis de documentos institucionales. Se muestran los problemas centrales de los destinatarios: precariedad laboral, bajos ingresos y débil cobertura de salud y seguridad social. Las tareas que realizan las cooperativas tienen potencial para atender las necesidades de los vecinos y el mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida, pero es imprescindible repensar las formas de protección en la economía popular y vincular el programa a un modelo de desarrollo centrado en el trabajo, la provisión de servicios públicos y la mejora de la infraestructura.
