In this case, social protection is one of the tools used by the States to satisfy social risks, alleviate individual deprivations and produce welfare (e.g. public education, health care, housing, cash transference). Researchers have considered the Latin American welfare systems as emerging Welfare States or as Welfare States in development. This meaning that their welfare programs and institutions are still in the process of institutionalization and have a lower degree of development than their European counterparts. 3 MAIN OBJECTIVES The objective of this course is to discuss the origins, trajectory and the main challenges on social protection systems and welfare regimes in Latin America and the Caribbean.
