The Argentine crisis and its impact on household welfare

Ariel Fiszbein, Paula Inés Giovagnoli and Isidro Adúriz

Revista CEPAL, 2003

Abstract: This study presents the initial findings of a household survey dealing with the effects of the Argentine economic crisis on welfare. It also seeks to identify the coping mechanisms and strategies adopted by households in these difficult times. The results obtained confirm the negative image reflected in the macroeconomic indicators, identify the limitations of the different coping mechanisms and reveal serious effects on welfare. The evidence suggests that the effects on the use of health services have been more marked than those on the use of education services.
