- Summary:
- This collection offers a critical analytical perspective and fresh empirical data on recent market-orientated social policy reforms in Latin America. The six case studies presented examine labor, education, health and general social development programs. A particular focus is placed on the ways in which market-enhancing reforms such as demand-based provision, social policy targeting, and privatization respond to issues of equity, coverage, and the quality of provision.
