Abstract

Este trabajo analiza la evolución de indicadores económicos y sociales del departamento de Sucre, con el fin de resaltar los cambios, avances y retos más importantes después de un poco más de 50 anos de existencia. La estructura económica del departamento evidencia cambios sustanciales. Si bien el sector primario ha sido el más significativo en la economía, su contribución se ha reducido en el tiempo, dándole paso a la actividad económica enfocada en los servicios. Sin embargo, la terciarización de la economía no guarda una relación con el desarrollo económico del departamento, por lo que no se considera una terciarización genuina. Los indicadores sociales muestran algunos avances como la reducción en la mortalidad, el aumento en los anos de educación aprobados y mejoras en aspectos críticos como vivienda y servicios públicos. Sin embargo, la baja calidad de la educación, la alta informalidad laboral y las cifras de pobreza por encima del total nacional continúan siendo los desafíos más importantes por resolver. **** ABSTRACT: This work analyzes the evolution of economic and social indicators of the department of Sucre, to highlight the most important changes, advances, and challenges after 50 years of existence. The economic structure of the department shows substantial changes. Although the primary sector has been one of the most significant in the economy, its contribution has been reduced over time, giving rise to the tertiary sector. However, the increase in the tertiary sector is not related to the economic development of the department, so it is not considered a genuine tertiarization. The social indicators show some progress such as the reduction in mortality, the increase in the educational level and improvements in critical aspects such as housing and public services. However, the low quality of education, high informality, and poverty continue to be the most important challenges to be solved.
