Formalización laboral y acceso a la pensión de vejez: el efecto de la informalidad laboral en el Sistema Pensional Colombiano

Abstract

Currently in Colombia, a debate is taking place about the pension system sustainability, in this debate is often to talk about the small number of pensioners in relation to those who should receiving a pension because of their age -- Additionally, the financial structure of the system is often discussed due to the high pension subsidies granted by the Prima Media Regime, as well as its inequitable nature -- One of the main arguments used to argue the unsustainability of the system is the labor informality high rating that it is because of this factor that the system does not have enough incomes to maintain and that is why it is not working -- This paper seeks to examine the veracity of those arguments and what is really the effect of the high percentage of informal workers in the pension system
