Una aproximación al financiamiento de un sistema de protección social en Colombia

Abstract

The document is a review of the main financial sources of the Social Protection in Colombia and the features of other Social Protection systems. We found that the social expenditure is focused in pensions and the results from the Solidarity Funds are insignificant if we compare it with the auto protection resources used by the households. We propose to take into account the individual and private efforts in Colombia if the government choose to create a Social Protection System because it can disincentive this efforts
