Abstract

Based on the increase in the rates of social vulnerability of the Argentine population, an analysis was carried out regarding the quality of life and resilience of the population. Objective: To weigh resilience and quality of life in the parents and caregivers who attend the Child Development Centers of the Ministry of Social Development (CeDIS) of the City of Buenos Aires, relative to the broader Argentine population. Sample: non-probabilistic, intentional, 650 adult subjects participating in CeDIS. Results: Quality of life, health, future safety, and community satisfaction are more influential factors for CeDIS participants than they are to the general population of Argentina. Levels of resilience increase proportionally with quality of life, in line with the apparent correlation between quality of life levels and the dimensions of resilience. It could be inferred that improvements in quality of life would produce a greater increase in resilience levels.
