Since the 1970s, but more strongly since the 1980s, the question of how the State regulates women's lives has become a central concern in feminist studies. Framed in that field of academic productions, this manuscript analyzes the implementation of a youth social inclusion program in the State of Buenos Aires, without formal guidelines of gender, with the aim of proving how the discourses that emerged about the risks and needs of clients that were pregnant or were mothers and the institutional practices in which they enrolled, worked as forms of State management of gender and youth motherhood. Besides contributing to the knowledge of aspects not yet sufficiently explored about how gender relations are actively produced in the settings of social policies in general, and those aimed at young people, in particular, the article object is to contribute to the knowledge about the complexity of State gender regulations, showing how, even the same local State, can manage it ―articulately with age and social class― in a differential and ambiguous way. The data were produced during an ethnographic fieldwork carried out between 2012 and 2016, in a local implementation of social program Envión.

Keywords : state regulation; gender; juvenile motherhood; ethnography; feminist studies.
