Anti‐Poverty Politics in Chile: A Preliminary Assessment of the Chile Solidario Program

Silvia Borzutzky

Poverty & Public Policy, 2009, vol. 1, issue 1, 1-16

Abstract: This paper addresses what is one of the thorniest issues in Chile's economic policy making today: the question of poverty and the Chile Solidario program which was designed to combat extreme poverty. The paper discusses who is poor in Chile, the problems with the existing data on poverty and extreme poverty, and the content of the program. The paper also contains an assessment of the short term effects of Chile Solidario. Based on the existing data, the conclusion is that Chile Solidario has failed to reduce poverty in the short term.
