Inclusive social protection in Latin America: a comprehensive, rights-based approach
This publication examines the main debates under way on social protection andco-responsibility transfer programmes in the region. It identifies the role played by these programmes and considers the conceptual elements, needs and thechallenges that will have to be overcome to consolidate comprehensive social protection systems in Latin America. The authors argue that these should be solidarity-based systems that provide universal coverage and are essentially egalitarian in the guarantees established as citizens’ rights. Citizenship as a whole is thus becoming part of protection policies as the region moves towards all- encompassing social policies that combine the complementary principles oftargeting as the instrument and universality as the end.
