Chapter Chapter 7 in Four Worlds of the Welfare State in Latin America, 2024, pp 207-241 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract From a gendered point of view, what we have been discussing in this book is that it does not explain much about the welfare state, as it has left in silence the situation of women, of half the population of the continent, that does not take fully, or even closely, advantage of its benefits. As the typologies of the existing social protection systems are all “falsely universalizing and implicitly masculinist”, as Sainsbury writes, this chapter has applied a gendered typology to rightly analyze the situations of the welfare states in Latin America.
