PAUTASSI, Laura. The Link between Education, Care and Mobility: An Approach to the Situation in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires. Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2017, n.34, pp.17-40. ISSN 1853-984X.

The objective of this article is to analyze the ways in which children and adolescents mobilize in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires (MABA), and what kind of care strategies are deployed by households, and with that, women to guarantee access to the education system as they accompany their sons and daughters on their way to school. To that reason the first analysis is regarding the availability of educational provision in the autonomous city of Buenos Aires (CABA) and in the province of Buenos Aires, both for early childhood and primary education, based on the information available. In second place the paper presents the routes that children take to get to school and who are their companions, and what means of mobility they use. The article concludes with recommendations for urban transport and care policies that effectively promote transversal approaches and favor more equitable social care responsibilities.

Keywords : Education; Mobility; Care; Public policies.
