Towards the end of 2001 and beginning of 2002, Argentina faced one of the deepest crisis of its history. From that moment on, the State intervention in welfare's field was consolidating in two major lines: measures destined to formal wage-earning workers and social programs that were destined to consider the situation of poverty conditions and lack of work that at first appeared to be momentary. This paper centers the analysis in the period between 2002 and 2009, in three social programs which relate to different areas: "Plan Jefas y Jefes de Hogar Desocupados Derecho de Inclusión Social"; "Plan de Seguridad Alimentaria El Hambre más Urgente"; and "Plan de Desarrollo Local y Economía Social Manos a la Obra". This paper analyzes the definitions of the mains problems identified and tries to investigate a "work-centered" vision that is on the centre of this welfare model. Finally, the analysis is centered in the potential of demarketising and making unknown the policies mention above.
