The Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social (National Social Security Administration) in Argentina, or ANSES, is working on the universalization of the citizen’s income, which is being considered for pensioners and children. ANSES Executive Director Emilio Basavilbaso has himself stated that (the universalization of) a basic income can allow the country “not only to maintain, but to reinforce social rights”. At the moment, as Emilio Basavilbaso also agrees, a law must be passed in order to start money transfers under this partial basic income for pensioners.
The present government, led by president Mauricio Macri, is also considering a universal child payment (Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH)), which has been proposed by parliament members Elisa Carrió and Elisa Carca as far back as 1997. The Argentinian government seems to be pursuing the expansion of unconditional payments per population sectors, at the moment focused on elder and younger citizens, through the internal transformation and increased capacity of the existent social security system.

Argentina’s AUH (asignacion universal por hijo, which is a CCT) has been covering many children (and consequently their families) since 2009. As a conditional payment, it is quite different from the BIG, but moves in the same direction (one hopes). It would be fabulous were the new government to expand such policies, but the suggestion that the current government is the architect of the CCT is false.
Dear Lindsay,
Thank you for your message. However, I don’t think the text suggests that the Argentine government is the architect of the AHU. It only says the government is considering that policy, proposed by two parliament members in 1997.

BASIC INCOME( INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY SURVIVAL) VS. MINIMUM LIFE (NETWORK SOCIETY CONTRIBUTION)
An Industrial Economy reduces a person’s (potential) life to materialism, confusion, isolation and survival and the prospect of a ‘basic income’ (for unemployment or retirement) that an Industrial Economy can not afford. This is not life. A Network Society empowers every individual with collective prosperity (beyond materialism), collective satisfaction and collective wisdom in a highly productive society structure that can not only fund a ‘Basic Income’, but also motivates individuals with a bonus from contribution to ‘things’ and the opportunity to contribute to any individual or society purpose in any sector or country.
Additional information is available from:

A comprehensive plan for to accelerate the evolution to Network Society is available at http://www.wisdom.to/brazil . This is intended as an example for Argentina.
The Brazilian Kingdom Wisdom Network applies the Network Society development model to deliver the “1 Brazil in 1 Global Village” objectives of ‘Society Growth’, Minimum Life (enhanced Basic Income), Economic Transformation, Government Transformation and to accelerate the evolutionary Shift from Industrial Economy to Network Society. Zero Marginal Cost Networks (internet, massively scalable ‘blockchainified’ databases, wisdom networks, mobile devices, distributed apps, distributed databases, open source software etc) and the resulting Network Society development model offer a superior, efficient, effective global and costless means to organise society (sectors, countries and the Global Village) and focus community wisdom on society outcomes and a Minimum Life (or enhanced Basic Income) for everyone.
Minimum income has been increasingly accepted by the Argentinian people.In Argentina is an economic benefit guaranteed by the ANSES in in its modality no contributory.
