¿Cuáles son los efectos reales y esperados sobre el derecho fundamental a la seguridad social por la exposición del Decreto 1174 de 2020?

Abstract

In Colombia, about 5 million people earn less than a minimum wage. The main reason is to work temporarily, therefore, they do not receive a pay equivalent to a minimum wage, these people do not have any type of social benefit. The entire country does not stop talking about the new occurrence that the National Government established through Decree 1174 of 2020, this decree means a drastic change in the labor area and its form of hiring. Decree 1174 of August 27, 2020 intends to include new measures to Decree 1833 of 2016; This, to allow access and operation of the Social Protection Floor to people with incomes lower than a minimum wage, that is, it is giving way to a hiring by hours that would not include health, pension or parafiscal for a worker who earns less than minimum wage. Despite all the comments, the Minister of Labor, Ángel Custodio Cabrera, said that, contrary to what many are misinterpreting, what is being tried is to formalize vulnerable workers who do not have any type of protection. However, many Colombians do not agree with the provisions, and have assured, through social networks, that the Government of Iván Duque is only condemning the workers to misery. The Government assures that this decree seeks to guarantee these people social security, health and that they can begin to generate savings for their old age. This is attached to law 1328 of 2009, with which the periodic economic benefits program was created, that is, the possibility of creating savings for the person in the case of not having any full-time employment relationship or that no one responds on your behalf for these obligations.
