Summary: | This article aims to develop a reflection about the income transfer programs developed in Latin America and the various conditionalities that are required from the beneficiaries to stay in the programs, considering four countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico). Therefore, initially it is presented a context of the socio-economical landscape of Latin America, which highlights the structural reforms, economic growth and social spending of the countries mentioned. The second step is to characterize the Program Income Transfer, focusing the conditionalities of each of the countries analyzed in order to identify their proposals, similarities and differences, and attempting to problematize the conditionalities required from the beneficiaries to stay in the programs, relating them to meet the Millennium Development Goals.
