Abstract

Resumen: El presente artículo muestra como los problemas de la pobreza y la inequidad se deben enfrentar con políticas que, además de propender por el crecimiento económico de los países, deban involucrar acciones tendientes a disminuir las desigualdades económicas y sociales entre los miembros de una sociedad. En este caso, el estado debe implementar de manera más enfática, estrategias de apoyo para la población más pobre en aras de aumentar su productividad y con ello, mejorar tanto sus posibilidades de vinculación activa al mercado laboral como su fuente de ingresos, para la satisfacción de sus necesidades. En esta perspectiva, el tema de la educación cobra papel protagónico, si se tiene en cuenta tanto lo que son los avances teóricos en el ámbito del crecimiento económico, como la evidencia empírica en la materia; para esto se realiza una revisión de la literatura propia del crecimiento económico y del análisis crítico del diagnóstico de la economía colombiana, enfatizando las variables que miden la problemática en consideración. ****** Abstract: The present article, shows that problems concerning poverty and inequity must be faced and treated with policies that, while still promoting a country’s economic growth, should involve actions seeking to reduce the inequalities existing between members of a society. In such a case, the state should implement support strategies for the poorest part of the population with the goal of raising their productivity and thus augmenting their possibilities of an active enrollment in the labor market along with an income that can help to fully satisfy their needs. In this perspective, the matter of education claims a leading role, taking into account subjects ranging from theoretical advances directly akin to the topic of economic growth to the empirical evidence available on the issue. Such demonstration is accomplished by starting from a revision of literature regarding economic growth and making a critical analysis of the Colombian economy’s diagnosis, emphasizing on the variables that relate directly to the problem being considered.
