Setbacks and advances in poverty in Santiago del Estero (Argentina), 1980-2024.

2024-10-26T11:03:03+00:00

This article analyzes the poverty situation in households in Santiago del Estero (Argentina) from the eighties to the present, through a quantitative analysis of official statistics. On the one hand, the Unsatisfied Basic Needs (NBI) indicator is used for the Province, disaggregating the analysis into each of the dimensions. On the other hand, what happened with the measurements of poverty and monetary indigence for the Santiago del Estero-La Banda Agglomeration is examined. While the NBI indicator in Santiago del Estero showed great progress in the last intercensal period, especially due to improvements in the dimensions of overcrowding and sanitary conditions, the measurements linked to the poverty line indicator showed a significant jump between the second half of 2023 and the first in 2024, which makes the need to articulate policies more urgent, at different levels of government, to improve the situation of thousands of households that have seen their living conditions deteriorate. Added to this is the need to improve information collection instruments with the purpose of having measurements that overcome multidimensional poverty, incorporating the subjective dimension in official measurements and considering the specificities of rurality.

Tourism and enogastronomy in a world heritage site in the province of Jujuy, Argentina

2024-11-22T23:53:01+00:00

This article presents a relational analysis between tourism and enogastronomy in a world heritage site located in the northern sector of the Argentine Republic, inviting us to rethink complex processes that bring together productive practices, heritage activations and gastronomy innovations based on experiential tourism trends. Quebrada de Humahuaca is a geographical region of the province of Jujuy that was inscribed in 2003 on the list of world heritage properties, by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization -UNESCO, as a cultural landscape, responding to criteria (ii), (iv) and (v). This region has diverse and appreciable natural and cultural assets that have been considered as potential resources based on its tourist attraction. In recent years, a change has been noticed in the food production practices that are developed in that region, altering some sectors of the protected landscape. This has raised a series of questions related to the enhancement of food heritage by local communities, the arrival of migrants of amenities and the gentrification processes that are developed within the framework of dynamics of tourist valorization of food and wine

The structural-differential approach applied to the economy of the province of Santiago del Estero Estero in the period 2004- 2022

The insertion of the province of Santiago del Estero in the national economy is known as “marginal”, an area specialized in a reduced group of products that are not very important in the national production, generally unrelated to the goods and services that make up the national export base. For decades, official economic policy has tended to counteract this traditional image; however, the specific orientation of public spending has only resulted in the development of multiple intermediation and service activities that are scarcely linked to the deepening of the exploitation of regional absolute advantages.
The lack of an integrated production structure determines the establishment of fluid exchange relations with other regions. The incipient industrialization tends to develop an intense commercial activity where the exchange of raw materials placed in the major industrial centers prevails with the need to complement the supply of local consumption. In this line, the growth of retail trade activity stands out, where the sale of products destined to satisfy the consumption needs of family groups (food and beverages, beverages, food and beverages, food and beverages, food and beverages, etc.), especially in urban areas, prevails.
(food and beverages, clothing, household equipment, etc.) and the development of personal services (private health, passenger transportation, recreation, etc.).
The document advances in the search for sources of information, methodological foundations and estimates (with a higher level of disaggregation and updated up to the year 2022) to define the provincial, regional and national indicators of structure and dynamics that have allowed the hypotheses proposed in this study to be put forward.

Epidemiological Characterization of Metabolic-Physiological Metabolic-Physiologic Risk Factors in two Health Health Centers of San Salvador de Jujuy

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a significant global health concern, characterised by a persistent increase in prevalence and high rates of morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study is to provide an epidemiological characterisation of the presence and comorbidity of metabolic-physiological risk factors in two health centres in the city of San Salvador de Jujuy (Jujuy, Argentina) over the course of the year 2023. The results indicate that the prevalences of diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity were 33 %, 37 %, 29 %, and 62 %, respectively. The estimated percentage of comorbidity was found to be similar across all levels of analysis, with a total prevalence of 46,6 %. Comorbidity was observed to be a common occurrence among patients, with a comparable prevalence observed in both health centres. These findings emphasise the necessity for comprehensive healthcare that addresses not only individual risk factors but also the associated comorbidities
