It is based on information from two large household data sets collected through Living Standards Measurement Surveys undertaken in 1997 and 2001. The results suggest that although health and nutrition public programs are pro-poor, they became less so between 1997 and 2001 for two reasons: a substantial reduction in the fertility rate of poor couples, and an increase in the use of public facilities by wealthier households, likely triggered by the economic crisis that Argentina has suffered since 1998. 2013-05-29T18:38:02Z 2013-05-29T18:38:02Z 2004-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/10/5363456/argentina-assessing-changes-targeting-health-nutrition-policies http://hdl.handle.net/10986/13647 English en_US HNP discussion paper; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean ARGENTINA
