The article studies the labour policies of the Argentine State in the last decade. It shows the limits and the alternatives that emerge, since protected work (decent, according to ILO) regained a central place as the base of the social inclusion. The discordance between the labour policy and the self-employment policy is analysed, as well as the innovation that implies the policy that extends social security to informal workers (with o without a job).

The article asserts that in 2003, Argentina began a counter-reform of social policies oriented to neoliberalism during the '90s. This process is analyzed stressing political and cultural contents for two specific sectors (labor and retirement policies) and contextualizing it in the traditional confrontation between peronism and anti-peronism. The conclusion is that the cores of disputes are not on contents of social and labor policies themselves but on global political projects and intentions put by each political sector down to their opositor. A deep ideological fight is the result from this process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
