GRASSP: Uruguay
Gender-responsive age-sensitive social protection in Uruguay
Highlights
This research explores three recent reforms in the Uruguayan social protection system and the extent of the integration of the gender and life-course perspectives within them: Asignaciones Familiares – Plan de Equidad ([AFAM-PE], the Family Allowances – Equity Plan), introduced in 2007; Sistema Nacional Integrado de Cuidados ([SNIC], the National Integrated Care System), established in 2015; and the pension system reform. The objective of this research is to assess why and how gender and life-course lenses have been (or have not been) integrated into the reform processes of the Uruguayan social protection system. The research was part of the multi-year and multi-country Gender-Responsive Age-Sensitive Social Protection (GRASSP) research project.
