Resumen
En este artículo se analizó la influencia de la desigualdad social en el desarrollo
comunitario en Cúcuta. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa basada en revisión
bibliográfica y análisis documental de los últimos 5 años desde la perspectiva de la
gerencia social. Los resultados resaltaron la persistencia de la desigualdad social
en la ciudad, con altas tasas de pobreza y vulnerabilidad debido a la migración,
limitaciones en la oferta laboral y la economía informal.
A nivel internacional, se destacó que América Latina aún tiene 168 millones de
personas afectadas por la pobreza, mientras que Colombia tiene uno de los
coeficientes de Gini más altos de la OCDE. A nivel local, Cúcuta enfrenta desafíos
económicos y sociales, incluyendo tasas de desempleo superiores a la media
nacional.
La revisión teórica identificó diversos factores que contribuyen a las desigualdades,
como aspectos económicos, educativos, de salud y territoriales. Se enfatizó la
necesidad de estrategias de desarrollo comunitario integrales que aborden las
raíces profundas de la desigualdad, no solo sus síntomas. Se propusieron
estrategias específicas, como programas de educación inclusiva, fomento del
emprendimiento local, acceso universal a servicios de salud y proyectos de
desarrollo territorial.
Estas estrategias buscan no solo abordar las desigualdades sociales, sino también
generar un impacto transformador en la vida de los residentes, destacando la
importancia de la colaboración activa entre la comunidad.
This article aimed to comprehensively analyze the influence of social inequality on community development in Cúcuta. A qualitative methodology was employed, involving a literature review and document analysis from the past 5 years, all within the framework of social management perspective. The results highlighted the persistent social inequality in the city, with high levels of poverty and vulnerability stemming from factors such as migration, limited job opportunities, and the informal economy. Internationally, it was noted that despite efforts to combat poverty in Latin America, there are still 168 million people affected. Colombia exhibits one of the highest Gini coefficients among OECD countries. At the local level, Cúcuta faces economic and social challenges, including higher-than-average national unemployment rates. The theoretical review identified various factors contributing to these inequalities, encompassing economic, educational, health, and territorial aspects. The necessity for comprehensive community development strategies that address the root causes of inequality, not just the symptoms, was emphasized. Specific strategies were proposed, such as inclusive education programs, promoting local entrepreneurship with a focus on vulnerable groups, ensuring universal access to healthcare services, and initiating territorial development projects to enhance infrastructure in both urban and rural areas. These strategies aim not only to tackle social inequalities but also to catalyze a transformative impact on residents' lives, emphasizing the importance of active collaboration within the community.
