Resumen
Si bien en diversos momentos históricos de la Argentina existieron políticas alimentarias, en los últimos años el país experimenta un aumento en materia de inseguridad alimentaria de su población. Al mismo tiempo, los datos recientes señalan un crecimiento en la pobreza. Esto condujo a que se diseñaran programas específicos en pos de revertir esa situación. Haciendo énfasis en la Prestación Alimentar (PA), del Plan Argentina contra el Hambre, el siguiente trabajo busca conocer las características de esta política, su cobertura y alcance. Asimismo, mediante datos secundarios, se analizan diferentes aspectos sociodemográficos de la población beneficiaria del Noroeste Argentino (NOA) a fin de evaluar su situación actual y posibles mejoras/recomendaciones. A nivel departamental la cobertura del PA oscila entre 6,9% y 99,5% en el caso de las mujeres del departamento Mitre de Santiago del Estero. Las mujeres en más del 90% de los casos fueron titulares, con edades comprendidas mayoritariamente entre los 20 y 60 años y con un tiempo medio de tenencia de la PA de 622,93±315,49 días. En cuanto a los beneficiarios el 92,75% eran menores de 14 años, seguidos por las embarazadas (4,67%) y las personas con discapacidad (el 2,58% restante). Menos del 5% de los titulares tienen más de 3 beneficiarios a cargo y que este grupo recibe un beneficio diluido de la PA. Esta situación nos invita a reflexionar acerca del alcance universal del derecho a la alimentación especialmente en contextos de pobreza.
Although Argentina has had food policies at different times in its history, in recent years the country has experienced an increase in food insecurity among its population. At the same time, recent data point to an increase in poverty. This has led to the design of specific programs to reverse this situation. Emphasizing the Prestacion Alimentar (PA) of Argentina Against Hunger Plans, the following paper seeks to understand the characteristics of this policy, its coverage and scope. Likewise, by means of secondary data, different sociodemographic aspects of the beneficiary population of Northwest Argentina (NOA) are analyzed to evaluate their current situation and possible improvements/recommendations. At the departmental level, PA coverage ranges from 6.9% to 99.5% in the case of women in the Mitre department of Santiago del Estero. In more than 90% of cases, women were entitled to the PA, with ages ranging mainly between 20 and 60 years and with an average time of possession of the PA of 622.93±315.49 days. In terms of beneficiaries, 92.75% were under 14 years of age, followed by pregnant women (4.67%) and people with disabilities (the remaining 2.58%). Less than 5% of the beneficiaries have more than 3 dependent beneficiaries and this group receives a diluted benefit from the PA. This situation invites us to reflect on the universal scope of the right to food, especially for people with disabilities.
