Abstract

Resumen: El mecanismo de protección al cesante, es una herramienta paliativa del Estado colombiano, para situaciones de pobreza y vulnerabilidad, que se generan cuando uno o más miembros de la familia pierden su empleo. Esta herramienta responde a la necesidad de cumplir con las funciones de protección al desempleo que no se cumplen con las prestaciones por desempleo existentes. Actualmente, cobra especial relevancia, dada la declaración del estado de emergencia económica y social generada por la pandemia del Covid-19, en la que este mecanismo se convirtió en el medio a través del cual se implementaron medidas temporales de orden laboral para reducir el impacto del coronavirus en trabajadores y empleados. Dado el importante papel de dicha herramienta, este artículo incluye literatura concluyente sobre los efectos de las prestaciones por desempleo y estudios que relacionan el mecanismo de protección al desempleo, sus características operativas y los posibles efectos de su aplicación en el marco teórico del seguro de desempleo. Abstract: The protection mechanism for the unemployed is a palliative tool of the Colombian State, for situations of poverty and vulnerability, which are generated when one or more family members lose their job. This tool responds to the need to comply with the functions of protecting the unemployed when the existing unemployment benefits are not met. Currently, it is especially relevant, given the declaration of the state of economic and social emergency generated by the Covid-19 pandemic, in which this mechanism became the means through which temporary labor measures were implemented to reduce the impact of the coronavirus in workers and employees. Given the important role of said tool, this article includes conclusive literature on the effects of unemployment benefits and studies that relate the unemployment protection mechanism, its operational characteristics and the possible effects of its application in the theoretical framework of unemployment insurance.
