Abstract

Argentina is undergoing a demographic transition marked by low birth rates and an aging population. This calls for innovative, equitable, and sustainable public policies, without setbacks in reproductive rights. Embracing longevity, rethinking family roles, and promoting intergenerational justice are key to addressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.
