Abstract

The Argentine Northeast (NEA) is a peripheral or border region of the Argentine Republic. This condition and its prolonged isolation from the centrality of the country, which in some aspects still persists, have its correlate in the social, economic and, as it will be seen in this chapter, in the particularities of the quality of life. The name of Northeastern Argentina (NEA) is arised from what was established by CONADE (the National Development Council) in 1967, and as it was appreciated at that time and as it is still recognized, it can hardly be considered as a region in itself. Of the four provinces that make it up, only Chaco and Formosa provinces present certain similarities in their population process and in their demographic, social, and economic characteristics. Corrientes and Misiones provinces not only differ from those but also are, among them, very dissimilar jurisdictions. This chapter will concern about the particularities of the geographical spaces that are part of the provinces that make up the Argentine Northeast (NEA) and the successive stages of settlement and prevailing productive systems until reaching the current configuration on which the synthetic indicator of quality of life is built, and its constituent variables for 2001 and 2010. In this sense, the analysis of these two moments indicates that a path of slow improvement can be glimpsed in recent years.
