Un mismo comienzo y dos caminos dispares: la Reparación Histórica y la Pensión Universal para el Adulto Mayor (2016-2019)
Abstract
La ley 27.260 creó en 2016 en la Argentina dos programas dirigidos a los adultos mayores: la Reparación Histórica y la Pensión Universal para el Adulto Mayor (PUAM). El público objetivo era diametralmente distinto, ya que la Reparación Histórica estaba destinada a los beneficiarios del Sistema Integrado Previsional Argentino (SIPA) de ingresos altos que tenían juicios pendientes con el Estado, mientras que la PUAM se dirigía a adultos mayores sin cobertura previsional, por lo que la ley fue la vía de producción de la desigualdad. Este trabajo muestra cómo los beneficiarios previsionales de mayores ingresos pudieron sostener sus ingresos por encima de la inflación en el período 2016-2019 debido a las transferencias recibidas por la Reparación Histórica, en un contexto general de caída de los haberes reales, aumentando la desigualdad entre los beneficiarios previsionales del SIPA.
In 2016 in the Argentine Republic, Law 27.260 established two programs aimed at old-age adults: The Historical Reparation and the Universal Old-Age Pension (PUAM). The target group was completely distinct due to the fact that this Historical Reparation was intended for the beneficiaries of the "Sistema Integrado Previsional Argentino" (SIPA) -the Argentine Integrated Pension System- with high incomes who had pending judgments with the State, while PUAM was aimed at old-age adults without pensions. Therefore, such law was the way to the production of social inequality. This work shows how the beneficiaries of such Pension System with higher salaries were able to sustain their incomes above the inflation over the period 2016-2019 due to several transfers received by the Historical Reparation Program, in a general context of falling of real wages, and leading to an increase of the social inequality among the pension beneficiaries of "SIPA".
