Abstract
Los indicadores económicos, como el producto bruto interno (PBI), por sí solos,
no miden el progreso social de la población. Es por ello que surgió el Índice de Progreso
Social (IPS) como herramienta holística e integral que nos proporciona una medida de
forma independiente a los indicadores económicos y el cual fue creado con la finalidad
de apoyar las acciones de mejora del progreso social enfocada a satisfacer las
necesidades básicas humanas, de establecer elementos fundamentales para la mejora del
bienestar de las personas, y de crear las oportunidades para que los ciudadanos puedan
lograr su desarrollo tanto personal como profesional.
El IPS tiene tres dimensiones: Necesidades Humanas Básicas, Fundamentos del
Bienestar y Oportunidades, donde cada una de ellas está conformada por cuatro
componentes. Asimismo, la metodología del IPS abarca los principios de: a) indicadores
exclusivamente sociales y ambientales, b) se enfoca en resultados y no en esfuerzos, c) es
holístico y relevante para todos los países y d) es una herramienta aplicable que ayuda a
los líderes de sociedad a implementar políticas para el progreso social.
El propósito de la investigación es calcular el nivel de progreso social del distrito
de Lince, departamento de Lima de acuerdo a la metodología implementada por la
organización no gubernamental Social Progress Imperative y adaptada, a nivel distrital
por CENTRUM Católica. El resultado de la presente investigación de enfoque
cuantitativo y diseño no experimental ubica al distrito de Lince en un nivel medio bajo
con un puntaje de 61.74 en una escala del 0 al 100, y a nivel de dimensiones obtuvo los
siguientes resultados: en Necesidades Humanas Básicas obtuvo 70.24 puntos, en
Fundamentos del Bienestar obtuvo 58.94 puntos y en Oportunidades obtuvo un puntaje
de 56.03 puntos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 414 hogares y la recolección de datos se realizó a través de encuestas como fuente primaria, así como de fuentes
secundarias provenientes de instituciones públicas.
Esta medición permitirá a las autoridades del distrito conocer y comparar el
progreso social del distrito de Lince y tomar las medidas necesarias a fin de supervisar y
mejorar el progreso social, e implementar políticas públicas que ayuden al desarrollo
social y medioambiental de sus habitantes. Asimismo, se pretende incentivar a la gestión
municipal del distrito de Lince en continuar periódicamente con el cálculo de este
indicador y así observar su evolución y el impacto logrado producto de las decisiones por
parte de sus autoridades.
Economic indicators, such as GDP, by themselves, do not measure the social progress of the citizens. The Social Progress Index (SPI) provides us an independent measure of economic indicators. That is why the Social Progress Index (SPI) emerged as a holistic and comprehensive tool that provides us with a measure independent of the economic indicators and which was created with the purpose of supporting actions to improve social progress of a society focused on satisfying the basic human needs, to establish fundamental elements for the improvement of people´s welfare, and to create opportunities for citizens to achieve their personal and professional development. The IPS has three dimensions: basic human needs, welfare fundamentals and opportunities, where each of them is made up of four components. Likewise, the IPS methodology covers the principles of a) exclusively social and environmental indicators, b) it focuses on results and not on efforts, c) it is holistic and relevant for all countries and d) it is an applicable tool that helps society leaders to implement policies for social progress. The purpose of the research is to calculate the level of social progress of the district of Lince, Lima, according to the methodology implemented by the nongovernmental organization Social Progress Imperative and adapted, at district level by CENTRUM Católica. The result of the present investigation of quantitative approach and non-experimental design locates the district of Lince in a middle-low level with a score of 61.74 on a scale from 0 to 100, and at the level of dimensions obtained the following results: in Basic Human Needs obtained 70.24 points, in Foundations of Wellbeing obtained 58.94 points and in Opportunities obtained a score of 56.03 points. The sample consisted of 414 homes and data collection was carried out through surveys as a primary source, as well as secondary sources from public institutions. This measurement will allow the district authorities to know and compare the social progress of the district of Lince and take the necessary measures to monitor and improve social progress and implement public policies that help the social and environmental development of its citizens. Likewise, it is intended to encourage the municipal management of the Lince district to periodically continue with the calculation of this indicator and thus observe its evolution and the impact achieved as a result of decisions by its authorities.
