Impacto de la Mutabilidad de los Requisitos en los Derechos Pensionales de las Mujeres en Colombia

Abstract

The old-age pension was not always regulated in Colombia, but until it was recognized as a fundamental human right. From there, the requirements for access to it were built for magistrates, postal workers, civil servants, official workers, private sector workers in general and women. Then, by implementing the transitional regime, the general pension system would be introduced, consisting of the individual savings scheme and the medium premium scheme with solidarity. But the new requirements of the General Pension System did not suit all contributors, so it was necessary to mutate the general requirements and create some in relation to demobilization, exclusion from the general pension system, health (disability, disabled child and high risk activity) and the family. Even so, the general pension system wants to be transformed by the pillar system by increasing a benefit to women. This is how the challenges for the general pension system do not end here. Because with the recognition of gender identity: transgender men and women, non-binary and fluid gender imply the non-adaptation to pension requirements and a debate regarding the requirements required of women. Those who have recently been recognized as workers and beneficiaries of pension rights, relegated to domestic work and child-rearing, have struggled to join the sexist workforce. Therefore, pension eligibility requirements are more flexible, which results when accompanied by employment inclusion policies.
