The chapter examines family policies in Latin America during the first two decades of the twenty-first century, considering the diversity of family arrangements and the influence of gender and rights agendas on their development. Based on a sample of twelve countries in the region, including all of South America, Mexico and Costa Rica, the authors draw a picture of the ways in which Latin American states define, recognise and regulate families through their measurements, their main regulations and some policy sectors. The analysis focuses on three types of policies: family regulation, family-work reconciliation, and monetary and income support. Attention is paid to the ways in which public policies have been recognising the transformations in family arrangements and the relationships between family members and new agendas, questioning or sustaining and reinforcing stereotypes and, to a greater or lesser extent, taking into account the different conditions of being families in societies as unequal as those of Latin America. The chapter concludes that although there have been transformations in family policies in Latin America that take into account changes in family arrangements and gender and rights agendas, important challenges remain. On the one hand, marked segmentation persists, as family social protection continues to be unequal, favouring families with formal incomes and reproducing socio-economic inequalities. On the other hand, maternalism continues to mark interventions. Reconciliation policies and monetary support perpetuate the burden of care on women, reinforcing traditional gender roles. Finally, in relation to family diversity, its recognition is not complete, which limits access to social protection for certain types of families. It is argued that it is necessary to move towards more inclusive and equitable policies that guarantee social protection for all types of families and promote co-responsibility in care.
