RONZON HERNANDEZ, Zoraida  and  JASSO SALAS, Pablo. Relevance of social programs for the aging in the Estado de México. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.21, pp.173-191. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2016.21.13.

This article aims to demonstrate whether the public policies in effect in the Estado de México regarding the aging population do respond to the needs perceived by this sector of individuals. It is based on ethnographic work conducted in 12 municipalities, highlighting the way in which people aged over 60 perceive the effectiveness and relevance of social programs that carry out economic or in-kind support, how this impacts their everyday life and whether or not this contributes to their stability. It also reflects their «desires» or needs and their criticisms regarding the way in which this support is allocated.

Keywords : aging; perception; social programs; Estado de México.
