The social issue in Latin America: the case of Paraguay

Abstract

The objectives that make up the study are to reflect on the manifestations of capitalism that accentuate the expressions of the social question in Latin America in the current context, as well as to problematize the Social Question in the case of Paraguay, highlighting the demands of historically oppressed population segments. Also and no less important, build relationships between the social question, social rights and Social Work, considering the studied segments. In the whole of the subject to which this study is linked, theoretical foundations are exercised, the investigative competence focused mainly on the bibliographic review, data systematization, building a product that enables both training and information. Latin America is configured as dependent or periphery of world capitalism. The expressions of the social question in each country present their own peculiarities according to the geographic context that is located. Based on this reflection on social rights and public policies, that although those established as state policies are scarce in the country, but rather as government plans or they are not implemented as planned, observing the absence of the State in various areas, we can say that confronting the expressions of the social question is even more challenging for Social Work in Paraguay.
