Resumen
CHALLU, Amílcar. Explicando las brechas del desarrollo humano en la Argentina de la belle époque. Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am. Dr. Emilio Ravignani [online]. 2023, n.58, pp.123-128. ISSN 0524-9767. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.34096/bol.rav.n58.11871.
This essay puts Pablo Schiaffino’s contribution in the broader framework of the history of human development in Argentina. It brings recent research in real wages and adult heights as indicators of income and health. Heights and wages both align with Schiaffino’s ranking of regions and reinforce the notion that the gaps in human development were enormous in Argentina in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The essay concludes with some suggestions for future research emphasizing the study of the institutional arrangements of public education policies and considering the role of credit scarcity in human capital formation.
