The COVID-19 pandemic unleashed a socioeconomic catastrophe on the region with the highest rate of inequality in the world, Latin America. Never before have social protections (especially in public health) become so important and so demanded by large sections of society. A study of the social protection systems of some of the most important Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay) in the light of the observed ideopolitical alternation between progressive and conservative governments reveals how the sociopolitical environment gave rise to a neoconservative cycle that, in combination with the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in the decay of these systems and the recognition of their importance.

Um estudo dos sistemas de proteção social de alguns dos mais importantes países latino-americanos (Argentina, Brasil, Chile e Uruguai) à luz da alternância ideopolítica observada entre governos progressistas e conservadores revela como o ambiente sociopolítico deu origem a um ciclo neoconservador que, em combinação com a pandemia de COVID-19, resultou na decadência desses sistemas e no reconhecimento de sua importância
