Política pública y su incidencia en la Seguridad Social. Caso, Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social

Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyse the aspects that make up public policy, in order to determine its impact on the effective compliance with Social Security in Ecuador. The methodological approach is qualitative, with a nonexperimental, observational design and an analytical descriptive scope. Through a bibliographic and documentary review, significant statistics were found on the increase in the number of retirees, events of non-payment by the State to the IESS, and the situation of Ecuador in relation to the growing deficit of affiliates. The result was that until August 2023, the IESS reports 644,469 pensioners, which is 6% more or 38,920 new people. Meanwhile, the number of affiliates practically did not increase and stood at 3.7 million in June 2023, an increase of 0.5% in the last year. Worrying situation due to the indebtedness of the Central Government with the BIES, for USD 13,063 million. Which reduces the economic benefits and pensions for the members who are the owners of the saved amounts. It is concluded that social security is a human right that aims to contribute to personal and social well-being. Which understands that the fundamental responsibility of the State is to satisfy the demands of citizens through public policies that ensure that social assistant services are protected and not violated.
