| description | This article analyses the policy of family allowance (cash transfers) in Uruguay. This mechanism first appeared in 1943; in 2005, during the Frente Amplio government, the use of new technologies brought adjustments to this policy and its original principles. This paper studies how technological improvements and the use of the Critical Deprivation Index (CCI) —whose purpose is to select households in a situation of socioeconomic vulnerability that receives family allowances— have modified the Uruguayan public administration, labour relations and the organization of work. The methodology reviewed laws from 1943, 2005, and 2007 and supporting secondary sources provided evidence on profiling changes and the course of allocations. Arguably the incorporation of technologies depoliticizes poverty because monitoring and supervision of allowances correspond to the agent overseeing the software operation and the collection of data. |

Este artículo reflexiona sobre la política de las asignaciones familiares en Uruguay. Está vigente desde 1943, fue ajustada mediante el uso de las tecnologías y modificada en sus principios originales en 2005, con la llegada del gobierno del Frente Amplio. Al mismo tiempo, se busca analizar cómo el desarrollo tecnológico, mediante el instrumento de Índice de Carencias Críticas (ICC), que tiene por propósito elegir a los hogares en situación de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica que le son entregadas las asignaciones familiares, modificó la Administración pública uruguaya, las relaciones laborales y la organización del trabajo. En términos metodológicos se revisan leyes de 1943, 2005 y 2007, además de fuentes secundarias de apoyo que evidencien el tipo de personas beneficiarias y recorrido de las asignaciones. La incorporación de las tecnologías tiende a despolitizar la pobreza, mientras que la vigilancia y supervisión de las asignaciones recae en el operador terminal, quien se encarga de la supervisión del software y recolección de los datos digitales.
