Abstract

This paper aims to argue about the existence of a link between focused social policies (conditioned transfer policies) and human capital theory. To this end, the central elements of the human capital theory and the debates that will be developed will be discussed. Then, a brief tour will be made for the notion of social policy and the transformations that have been developed in this matter from the policies of structural reform of the State that were implemented in Argentina and the region. On the other hand, the arguments developed by the international technical agencies on the notion of intergenerational transmission of poverty linked to the endowment of human capital will be raised. Finally, the conclusion is that the theory of human capital is an underlying supposed that structures the operation of targeted social policies, specifically in relation to the component of conditionalities.
