Abstract

La transición demográfica y el acelerado proceso de envejecimiento de la población en los países latinoamericanos implicará un crecimiento continuo del número de adultos mayores en situación de vulnerabilidad. El sistema pensional contributivo afronta una barrera estructural para ofrecer acceso a los trabajadores más allá del sector formal, lo cual es particularmente grave en países como Colombia, con una alta participación de la informalidad en su mercado laboral. En estos contextos, los mecanismos no contributivos y semi-contributivos son vehículos de política pública que están en la capacidad de ofrecer protección económica a la vejez y aumentar la cobertura de la población mayor. En este documento se analizan las características que debe tener un beneficio no contributivo bien disenado, que aumente la cobertura pero no desincentive la cotización al sistema contributivo de seguridad social, a través de tres aspectos: el valor del subsidio, su cobertura o focalización, y su interacción con los demás pilares. A partir de las mejores prácticas y la experiencia internacional de Chile, Brasil, Bolivia y Nueva Zelanda, se hace una propuesta de reforma al programa Colombia Mayor resaltando la forma en que éste puede complementarse con el pilar semi-contributivo de los Beneficios Económicos Periódicos – BEPS.
