Representations of Infant Caregiving as a Problem of Public Policy in the Ecuadorian State: Ambivalences and Potential Changes by Virginia Villamediana

“…In the present article, I ask about the principal representations of infant caregiving as a problem of public policy present in official documents and in the current rhetoric of Ecuadorian state functionaries.
