The social infrastructure deficit as a constraint on human development and labor productivity in Argentine provinces.
María Lanteri
Policy brief ⎯ 29 de junio de 2026
The infrastructure discussion in Argentina usually focuses on road, energy, and transport projects, relegating social infrastructure—hospitals, schools, professional training centers—to the background. However, evidence shows that investment in social infrastructure yields economic returns comparable to or higher than productive infrastructure.
Industrialization is not a luxury but a necessity for developing economies.
