Estrategias de fomento de la afiliación a la seguridad social en productores de panela

Abstract

High levels of labor informality in Colombia lead to low levels of affiliation to the SGSS, leaving the working and employer population subject to great risks and contingencies. In the paneling production that is carried out in the municipality of Villeta, Cundinamarca, these risks, labor informality and the low level of affiliation to the SGSS can be evidenced. Given this problem, the question arises: How to promote the affiliation of workers in the paneling sector of the municipality of Villeta, Cundinamarca, to the SGSS; from the internal conceptions of the panela sector producers ?, with the general objective of generating strategies to promote the affiliation to the SGSS of its workers among panela producers (employers). The question is approached from the method of qualitative research, ethnographic design, and the use of structured interviews as an instrument for data collection, seeking an understanding from the conceptions of community members. The characterization diagnosis led to the design of strategies such as an interactive socialization talk with feedback and a GSSS socialization brochure. Before the intervention, it is evident that the application of the designed strategies helps the population to better understand the system and encourage affiliation, so it is recommended to continue applying them periodically, as well as explore the issue of associativity and solidarity economies as a method of promoting membership in the SGSS in future work.
