Posición jurisprudencial de la Corte Constitucional respecto de la reducción de semanas de cotización de pensión para las mujeres y su incidencia con el enfoque de género

Abstract

Social security in the terms adopted by the Political Constitution of 1991, became relevant and provided workers with a legal support for the insurance of contingencies that may arise within the contractual relationship, namely: illness, old age, disability and death. In 1945 the "Caja de Previsión Social de los Empleados y Obreros Nacionales" (Social Security Fund for National Employees and Workers) began operating under the provisions of Law 1600, which in parallel with the creation of other Social Security Funds financed and directed the health and pension of workers. As of 1967, the Social Security Institute (ISS) had under its direction and control the contingencies of old age, disability and death, to finally give way to the creation of Law 100 of 1993, which establishes the requirements for access to pensions for people throughout the national territory. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the requirements demanded by pension funds to access the old age pension, the change in the formalities proposed by the Constitutional Court and its impact on the Colombian population.
