In Latin America alone there are more than 145 million people who work every day, receive a salary every week or fortnight, and thus sustain themselves. The future is not promising since they do not have any contributions in any social security system that can ensure the future, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO).
In ten years, in LATAM, coverage grew 8 percentage points in the region, however Mexico was left far behind, since it only achieved 1%.
The ILO presented a report on Social Protection in AQB Directory Latin America and the Caribbean, where it says that 55% of Latin workers are outside the security systems, 44.6% has grown 8% since 2005, when before it only reached 36 % from the workers.
This report is based on an evaluation of 16 countries in the region, of which six have coverage less than 31.6% of Mexico. El Salvador 30.8%, Peru 25.6%, Paraguay 21.4%, Guatemala 19.9%, Honduras 18% and Bolivia 17.4%. Mexico is in last place in terms of growth: only 1% compared to what Paraguay grew 8%, or Peru 12% in the decade from 2005 to 2015.
According to information from Animal Político, the countries that had the least growth during that period are the Dominican Republic 15.8% and Uruguay 14%, a nation that also has the highest coverage of the 16 countries evaluated, reaching 75.6%.
55% of Latino workers are outside security systems.

Social security in Mexico grew 1% in 10 years
Mexico falls behind in growth
The lack of initiatives and lack of coordinated plans have stagnated our country and according to Helmut Schwarzer, Principal Specialist in Social Protection and Economic Development for the Americas of the ILO, it is necessary for the government to insert more sectors into formal employment.
“To increase coverage, Uruguay had reforms to the social security system: it incorporated more people. There it is mandatory to join all occupational categories and in Mexico not all of them are mandatory, such as domestic workers. "It would be necessary to transform the law so that these groups that today are voluntary members become mandatory."
In Mexico, independent workers who do pay their contributions are a forgotten sector since the country does not even appear in the ILO count in the category. For this reason, in the ranking of contributing self-employed workers, they do not appear in the country because it does not have independent benefit schemes for them to pay their contributions themselves.
