Argentine President Alberto Fernandez on Thursday signed a decree that extends social welfare coverage to one million more children and teenagers.
With less than two months for the October 23 general election, Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner announced on Wednesday changes in the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), including the new rates for children under 18, disabled children and pregnant women.
Half a million additional kids in Argentina will see their prospects in life improve following the expansion of a popular social protection program with World Bank support.
