La seguridad social en disputa. Debates en torno a las problemáticas y desafíos para la construcción de nuevos entramados de protecciones para la Economía Popular y Solidaria

Abstract

This paper aims to review the scope and challenges of social protections for the Popular and Solidarity Economy (EPS) in Argentina. To do this, we systematized and analyzed official documents (laws, bills, reports from public bodies, among others), reports from international organizations related to the subject, and various materials prepared by EPS worker`s organizations (communications, projects to modify national laws, documents and reports, etc.). These documentary sources, and the previous works of our authorship and of experts in the subject have been the inputs from which we prepared this article. In the first section we briefly review the components of the Social Security System and then, in the second and third one, recognize the ability of this system to protect a specific labor group, the workers of the EPS. In the fourth section, we reconstruct the strategies that those working subjects and their organizations are creating and inventing in the absence or poor coverage. Following, we synthesized the demands and proposals that their organizations formulate towards political class. All this will allow us to reconstruct the protection capacity of the Social Security System towards a growing and expanding work group, both in quantitative terms and in the diversity of socio-labor situations that it hosts.
