Introduction:

Socio Economic development in rural areas is enhanced by the social security systems. These help societies with a high inequality index, protecting the most vulnerable individuals in a society.

Objective:

Analyze the participation of the rural population of the municipality of Filandia in the social security systems for the year 2020.

Materials and methods:

A stratified sample was carried out with a 90 % of confidence level and a sampling error of 5 % to the municipality's 24 rural communities. The sample was 239 estates and the software Stata® was used to analyze the different variables identified in this study.

Results:

It was found that the rural areas of the municipality of Filandia are highly informal: 74.06% of the population does not contribute to social security, 71.55 % participate in subsidized health, and 81.59 % are not protected from occupational hazards. Additionally, it was found an inverse relationship between education and informality. Moreover, the lower the income level a person has, together with a low SISBEN level, the greater the probability of not contributing to the social security systems.

Conclusions:

the individuals in the rural areas of this municipality are vulnerable to economic and sanitary debacles; increasing the probability to fall into poverty traps. Likewise, poor labor conditions limit access to high-quality health and educational services, competitiveness in relation to other sectors, and deepen social inequalities.
