Abstract

El trabajo trata de establecer que son las condiciones estructurales de la sociedad las que deben condicionarun nuevo enfoque de la política social. Para tal efecto se requiere una nueva conformación institucionalque propenda por un modelo de integración a partir de la cual se aumente la cobertura de oportunidadespara los diversos sectores de la sociedad.En una primera parte se busca la determinación de las necesidades en una perspectiva de objetividad yuniversalidad, en orden a establecer lo mínimo que la sociedad debe propiciar a los individuos paraconstituir una ciudadanía participante.Al tratar el tema de la exclusión los argumentos se encaminan en el sentido de que las características ydimensión de la exclusión están directamente relacionadas con la idea que tengan la sociedad y el Estadoacerca de la integración; del individuo con el sistema socio-económico, de los diferentes sectores económicos,de la integración de las regiones y del país con el resto del mundo. De las anteriores consideracionesdepende el tipo de política social que habrá de implementarse, para que, una vez comprendidas lasnecesidades en sus condiciones de objetividad y universalidad, se puedan plantear las modalidades depolítica pública en procura de la disminución del grado de heterogeneidad y diversidad social.Para entender el caso colombiano se examina el Indice de Desarrollo Humano (IDH), como forma comprensivade los planteamientos anteriores, con lo cual se puede comprender la realidad nacional._____________ABSTRACT:This article aims at establishing that the structural conditions of the society determine the newapproach to the social policy. In this context, a new institutional organization that attempts toimplement an integrational model is required. Based on this model, the different sectors ofsociety would have access to plenty of opportunities. In order to establish the basic conditionsfor individuals to become active members of society, it is urged that the vital necessities aredetermined.The characteristics and dimensions of exclusion are directly linked to the concept that societyand state have on integration: the individual with the socioeconomic system, the differenteconomic sectors among themselves, and the relationships of the country with the world. Thesocial policy to be implemented depends greatly on the previous considerations, so that oncethese conditions are understood public policies are implemented to diminish social inequality.In our context, and to be able to understand the national situation, it is necessary to examine theHuman Development Index.
