Abstract
Argentina experienced a number of economic crises during the last two decades, however, these crises were followed by transformations of its economy. These crises and transformations have clearly affected the living standards of the different levels of its society and the labour employment. In Argentina, it was shown that a people who have fixed income have less risk of mortality compared to those who were not employed. Another observation was that females are more likely to die than males if socioeconomic indicators are included. Psychosocial stress is still attributed as one of the contributors in the mortality rate, but this time, in Argentina. Furthermore, it must be noted that in Buenos Aires there was a notable increase in divorce and separations which contributed to change in the economic function of a person, which in turn may affect mortality rate.
