El replanteamiento de paradigmas de la seguridad social en Ecuador y los factores que la sustentan

Abstract

Social security and its change processes are studied, to understand its importance in society and the benefits it offers where the transformation processes are constant; implies that social security must evolve to meet the needs that need to be addressed as a priority so that the individuals of a society can fully develop. These renewals in terms of Social Security in Ecuador were given as a historical process of evolution that allowed to establish an equitable and inclusive system, so that specific social security policies can be applied at the national level. In this process of change, the system had to fight against corruption, the politicization and privatization of subjects that manipulated it to fulfill personal interests; Small advances were seen over the years, the most notable were the peasant insurance and the benefits that insured persons had, such as unsecured loans. A true and remarkable change would be seen from the year 2008 where the policies of President Rafael Correa would focus on a universal social security focused on guaranteeing access to health and minimum basic services. These policies would touch points of protection for groups in risk of vulnerability of rights, the reform to create voluntary membership insurance and the creation of insurance for women housewives, favoring working conditions both inclusively and for access to health universal and other minimum basic services, to reduce as much as possible the needs of citizens.
