Generating a practical theoretical explanation and the implications of the challenges for the improvement of the Pension Fund Administrators (AFP) was the central objective of the three-state discussion, organized by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Social, Business and Legal Sciences of the University of La Serena.

Academic and non-academic officials and students participated in the CETECFI Conference Room in a discussion chaired by the law academic, Germán Solís Godoy, and the former Dean of the Faculty of Social, Business and Legal Sciences, Mg. Jorge Fernández Labra.

In the first instance, the academic from the Law degree presented a didactic explanation about the functioning of the AFP. Likewise, he referred through concrete examples to the deficiencies that the system has, reasons for which he has been questioned for several years and now with greater impetus since the social outbreak of the country.

Then, the former Dean of the Faculty of Social, Business and Legal Sciences addressed the economic sphere that governs the AFP system and the implications of modifications and improvements.

Likewise, the former Dean thanked and valued the deep connection he has with the University of La Serena, and stressed the importance of instances that allow dialogue and the deepening of cross-cutting issues. “It is very important because to the extent that people are informed about an issue, they believe less in magical solutions for all issues. So if we delve into a topic, like this case of the AFP, it is necessary to know the details of the real functioning of the system, since, as is the case with health, there are many items that can be solved with better management," he stated. .

The event allowed a series of questions and deepening of doubts generated by those present from each level of the state campus.

The day ended with the intervention of the Dean of the Faculty of Social, Business and Legal Sciences, Dr. Luperfina Rojas Escobar, who thanked the speakers for their participation and professionalism. In addition, she invited them to “continue participating in the tri-state talks so that, together, we can build a better country for everyone.”

The initiative to hold tri-state conversations is part of the efforts and commitments of the University of La Serena as the entity responsible for the dissemination of knowledge available to everyone.
