The Argentine government is set to terminate the "Return to Work" program, which aimed to combat unemployment. As part of its plan to shrink the state sector, it plans to remove 900,000 people from the program. This decision goes against previous promises and comes at a time when hundreds of thousands of cooperative workers continue to run community kitchens, maintain public spaces, and carry out other initiatives. According to official data, since President Javier Milei took office, approximately 200,000 registered jobs have been lost. The government justifies its actions by the need to cut spending and stimulate the private sector, but critics point to the lack of evidence for the effectiveness of such measures and warn that the decision will lead to social unrest.
