Abstract

Apart from the serious social protection deficit suffered by independent workers in Colombia, the existence and proliferation of intermediaries that offer their affiliation services and payment of contributions inappropriately, is putting at risk both the access and that of their families to the insurance benefits, such as the financial sustainability of the Social Protection System. By constitutional mandate, the Colombian State has the duty to adopt measures that protect workers and favor full employment, which is why it is empowered to intervene in the economy through regulation, inspection, monitoring and control. By virtue of the foregoing, this research project aims to identify the characteristics of regulation and inspection, surveillance and control of intermediaries in the affiliation of independent workers to social security in Colombia during the years 2005 to 2015 , for which the historical and normative evolution of this process is analyzed, it establishes the actors that participate there, characterizes the most common forms of evasion and elusion in which they incur, indicates which control mechanisms have been implemented by the competent authorities, and it approaches the determinants of the proliferation of irregular collective affiliation. This research was conducted from a qualitative - descriptive approach, through the documentary review of the rules, judgments, reports, research and statistics prepared by public entities, trade associations, academics and others interested in the subject.
