Uruguay enfrenta una crisis de cuidados debido a las bajas tasas de natalidad, el aumento de la esperanza de vida y la inclusión de las mujeres en el mercado laboral. Entre el año 2010 y 2012 se realizaron las primeras actividades oficiales de cara a la reforma de Política Social del nuevo Sistema Nacional Integrado de Cuidados. En esta investigación se analizará la relación entre el mercado, la sociedad y el estado presente en las etapas de discusión inicial del plan. Este estudio fue realizado analizando los documentos oficiales producidos en el período de referencia a través de métodos cualitativos.

Finalmente se discute brevemente cómo estas ideas pueden influir en el futuro desarrollo del país. (Less)
