The objective of this paper is to analyze, from the point of view of the conditions of social reproduction, the changes that took place between the periods of convertibility (1991-2001) and post convertibility (2002-2015) in Argentina. The methodology implemented is the elaboration and estimation of the cost of social reproduction; this is a variable composed of the income needed to reproduce itself on existing material and historical condi- tions in each country; it is composed of salary, retirement and basic rights guaranteed by the State (education, health, etc.). Regarding the results, it is concluded that in the 1990s, reproductive conditions had a declining tendency, intensified at the beginning of post-convertibility, especially because the increase in unemployment and informal working. By contrast, between 2004 and 2015 the cost of social reproduction recovered, first as a result of the dynamics of wages (until 2008) and then by the preponderance of socialized rights (2009-2015).
