Abstract
This article analyzes some aspects of the Universal Child Allowance for social protection, a measure that since its implementation in 2009 has been at the center of the current reflection on the role of the state in social protection in Argentina. The paper identifies lines of continuity and points of rupture that the Universal Allowance has introduced in relation to the logic of social intervention characteristic of the neoliberal political rationality. It detects what is new and what has remained in terms of how "the social question" is thought of and addressed and its implications in terms of the constitution of the individual recipient of the social policy.
