Virginia Belén Toledo López — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Coronavirus (Covid 19) emergency in Argentina highlighted the multiple challenges that affect the most vulnerable social sectors in critical moments of collapse, given their historical difficulties in accessing basic services. This article focuses on the period 2020-2022, the pandemic stage, based on a qualitative design that triangulates primary and secondary sources with the development of a case study in the city of Selva, province of Santiago del Estero. The results advise about health and non-health consequences of the emergency. The research managed to reveal organizational processes at the community level and the way in which the context situation deepened pre-existing critical conditions. Furthermore, the case shows that in some places the care and isolation measures, articulated with other control devices, faced pre-existing collective processes.

Workers´ social protection in Argentina

María Celeste Cóceres — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The coverage of social contingencies has had its greatest development around a budget: registered work in a dependency relationship. This entails a contributory coverage scheme, based mainly on financing through contributions from workers and employers.

In this work, we will synthesize the various coverage systems for social contingencies - old age, disability, death, illness, work accident, family responsibilities, maternity, unemployment - for registered workers, and which constitute the central structure of the public policy of protection.

However, we do not fail to point out that, in a context with high rates of labor informality, a large part of the population is left out of that Social Security contributory umbrella. For this group of people, non-contributory or assistance schemes subsidiarily establish protection against social contingencies.

This leads to the need to design public policies in line with the current reality, which contemplate various situations and modalities: informal work, independent work, teleworking/work 4.0, care work, migrant work/digital nomads.

Leandro Mauricio Boero — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The present research work aims to contribute to investigate whether the incorporation of the figure of the plaintiff in the new Juvenile Criminal Procedure Code of the province of Santa Fe is in line with the principles, standards and fundamental norms of the system for the comprehensive promotion of the rights of children and adolescents. The constitutional principles involved will be presented, as well as the international corpus iuris of protection of the rights of young people in criminal matters, with emphasis on the principle of specialty and the dominant paradigm of the best interests of the child. Likewise, the specialized opinion of the doctrine will be reflected in reference to the subject, and reference will be made to the direction followed by the jurisprudence of our courts in relation to the constitution of the plaintiff in criminal proceedings against children and adolescents. On the other hand, this is an exploratory and qualitative work, which will try through its four chapters to account for the incompatibility of the action of the complainant in a process followed against a young person accused of a criminal offense, taking into account the specialty of juvenile criminal justice, as an approach that sets limits to the repressive state activity, taking into consideration that the purpose of the juvenile criminal sanction is the rehabilitation and reintegration of the young offender.

Critical evaluation of Acordada No. 281 of the Superior Court La Rioja. The role of psychological reports in the Gesell Chamber

Brian Ezequiel Cáceres — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The regulation of the Gesell Chamber (hereinafter GC) system in the criminal procedural legislation of the province of La Rioja has two shortcomings: 1) Lack of systematisation in its regulation and, consequently, 2) Denial of the special vulnerability of children and adolescents (hereinafter BGTY) victims or witnesses of crimes who must testify through this procedure. Both weaknesses hinder the proper use of this tool and at the same time especially affect the rights of children and adolescents who must go through a judicial procedure -especially in the face of events that affect their sexual integrity-. This article will address the second of the hortcomings, caused by the issuance of Resolution No. 281 of the High Court of Justice of La Rioja (hereinafter TSJ).
