Global Dynamics of Social Policy

This chapter discusses methods appropriate to the study of social protection in Latin America. It reviews and assesses the main methodological approaches employed by researchers in the past. Building on these, it identifies methods appropriate to developing a theoretical perspective capable of explaining the evolution and current configuration of social protection institutions in the region. Recent trends in social research methods reveal a renewed emphasis on causal inference. The application of quasi-experimental methods in the study of the outcomes of social protection interventions, initially in the context of conditional income transfers, has focused attention on the causal effects of social protection interventions. The chapter assesses the challenges associated with the application of causal inference models in the context of research on institutions relying on observational data. It argues the potential outcomes approach offers a systematic framework for incorporating attention to counterfactuals. It makes a case for the use of graphical casual models to help discriminate causal versus non-causal association between variables, thus refining researchers’ hypotheses and linking the model to potential empirical counterparts.

“…There is abundant literature describing the social policy expansion in Latin America since the year 2000, that is, the increase in coverage or inclusion in social policy (Holland & Schneider, 2017; Huber & Stephens, 2012; Ocampo & Gómez‐Arteaga, 2016; Rofman et al, 2015). Pink tide governments in particular have been extolled as examples of redistributive and equitable policies (Grugel & Riggirozzi, 2018; Midaglia et al, 2018; Pribble, 2013; Riesco, 2009). It is important, however, to look not only at the expansion of the social policy to include previously excluded populations (the so‐called ‘outsiders’) but also at the overall level of decommodification provided by policy schemes and the distribution of social benefits—that is, whether there are inequities across different groups.…”

Social policy expansion and segmentation in the first two decades of the 21st century in Latin America

Latin American countries saw an important expansion in social policy in the first two decades of the 21st century. Along with this increased inclusion, however, social policy remains segmented. Using recent data from ECLAC, World Bank, and other sources, this paper offers a comprehensive analysis of trends in social policy for the period 2000–2020 for 17 countries in Latin America. Four areas of social policy are assessed in longitudinal and comparative perspectives: transfers, health care, education, and family policies. Conditional cash transfers (CCT) and noncontributory pensions (NCP) are the two main policy innovations that allowed countries in the region to expand social rights to previously excluded populations (outsiders). At the same time, due to their design, these policies have introduced new layers of fragmentation to the welfare mix, without resolving—or even increasing—segmentation in social policy. Segmentation is still the rule for the areas of health care and education, and increasing privatisation went unabated even in the periods of social policy expansion and in the countries governed by left coalitions.

Este artículo analiza los patrones de desigualdad en la movilidad educativa intergeneracional absoluta y relativa desde una perspectiva comparativa, internacional y longitudinal, que explora patrones entre una selección de países de América Latina (Chile, México y Uruguay) y Europa (España, Suecia, Reino Unido y Alemania), a través de cohortes, regímenes de bienestar y fases de transformación de la estructura social y educativa. La metodología refrenda la relevancia de analizar la desigualdad social más allá de la desigualdad de condiciones, recuperando la trascendencia del estudio de la desigualdad de oportunidades en términos de movilidad educativa, su estructura y pautas de distribución entre los miembros y generaciones de una sociedad. En concomitancia, se privilegian los factores contextuales y temporales en la respuesta al comportamiento de la movilidad y fluidez educativa, con especial énfasis en descubrir como la experimentan hombres y mujeres y los nacidos en la cohorte más joven (generación joven). El análisis se encamina hacia el objetivo de dar respuesta a interrogantes como: ¿Qué patrones de movilidad y fluidez educativa caracterizan a las sociedades latinoamericanas y cuáles a las europeas? ¿Qué ofrece la comparación a través de las cohortes? ¿Ha experimentado la fluidez educativa intergeneracional una desaceleración hacia la cohorte de la generación joven? Se ponen a prueba hipótesis que permiten concluir respecto a la concentración de la fluidez educativa en la base y cumbre de la estructura educativa; la elevada reproducción en la base; la fluidez educativa constante; y la diferencia uniforme a través de las cohortes.
