ABSTRACT This paper identifies the specific characteristics of the Colombian pension model that demonstrate its incongruence with to the constitutional rules set out for the right to pension considered as an economic, social and cultural right. Therefore, the establishment of non-contributory pillars and the elimination of subsidies to the population with incomes are proposed as a step in correcting the current problems of the General Pension System.
