“…Under the leadership of populist politicians building multi-class coalitions, policy expansion in this period followed a classical corporatist model, in which the most potentially disruptive layers of the working class were successively incorporated into the state through the sanctioning of legal representation rights and bundled social rights. As Berins Collier (2021) points out, there are some key differences in the historical period after 1980, including the first two decades of the twenty-first century. Permeated by the tenets of the Washington consensus, these years were characterized by a reduction in the state's involvement in direct production (i.e.…”

“…During ISI, labour represented both a cost and a market for local production and thanks to protectionist policies, employers could pass on the increased labour costs directly to consumers. In contrast, in the globalized economy since the 1980s, amidst increased international competition, labour has become uniformly seen as a net cost (Berins Collier, 2021, p. xxxiii).…”

A growing scholarship has documented changes in welfare policy in twenty-first-century Latin America, but no study yet has offered a systematic assessment, using a welfare regime approach, that captures the main trends across countries and over time. For a sample of 17 countries, this study offers a comprehensive tool to measure shifts in social policy regimes, highlighting three dimensions of welfare – inclusion, generosity, and equity – across four policy areas: transfers, health care, education, and family policies. Countries made significant progress in generosity and inclusion, but none improved equity. A cluster analysis based on the three dimensions of welfare offers a new, more precise classification of Latin American countries in welfare regimes in 2002 and 2017. Although the analysis shows minor shifts in country groupings, an increasing reliance on social assistance policies, particularly among the most advanced countries, marks a shift towards what I call compensatory regimes.

“…For the first time, a programmatic and rules-based set of social protection institutions reached low wage and informal population groups in all countries in the region (Barrientos, 2013;Cecchini & Madariaga, 2011;Villatoro & Cecchini, 2018). It embedded new political strategies for connecting these groups to social policy, described as a (second) incorporation (Collier, 2021;Roberts, 2021;Silva & Rossi, 2017).…”

This chapter offers an examination of the incorporation effects of social protection in Latin America. The analysis focuses on two intertwined elements: (i) the features of the ‘critical realignments’ shaping the incorporation effects of the emergent institutions; and (ii) the theories that can be brought to bear to explain change. The main findings from the chapter can be summarised as follows. First, developments in social protection in the region are primarily explained by processes of incorporation and disincorporation of wage earners. Second, in Latin America the incorporation and disincorporation effects of social protection institutions confirm that intra-class (wage earners) fragmentation and aggregation is more important than inter-class coalitions for the politics of welfare institutions. Third, identifying and studying critical realignments is essential to explaining changes in social protection institutions and the resulting processes of incorporation and disincorporation. Fourth, it makes sense to seek to develop theoretical frameworks from an understanding of the Latin American context. Fifth, the literature on the politics of social protection appears to have an in-built elite bias. Focusing on the incorporation effects of social protection institutions shifts attention to wage earners, the primary actors of social protection.
