Abstract

The dramatic spread of coronavirus since March 2020 has led to the confinement of Argentine population as a health measure in order to contain the pandemic. Social isolation measures have restricted people’s movement and attendance at their workplaces. This new pandemic scenario was developed when the labor market had been accumulating long-term fragilities and tensions, and these tensions had been increasing in the last few years. This article is centered in the description and analysis of the Emergency Family Income program and the characteristics of its beneficiaries. This income transfer program was directed towards the most vulnerable sectors –mainly informal workers- and constitutes the most important program of the period as regards the amount of population reached.
